Not fireable offenses.

After 16 years and only 1 single title, it certainly is.

Terrible take. Devoid of context. And understanding of how hard it is to win titles.

So when he goes for it you criticize him. When he doesn't go for it you criticize him.

You want context? Go into every single recent Ainge or AD thread and there’s my posts with context on how much Ainge has blew.

He’s hoarded assets for YEARS and had the exact opportunity to cash them in for Leonard last year and thought saving Brown and Rozier was the better play. That’s about as fireable of an offense if I've ever seen in the NBA, not to mention he thought going all in on a weak minded PG who thought the world was flat was “the guy” to build around.

Go ball wash Ainge somewhere else. He’s inability to pull the trigger has led this team down a dark rabbit hole where there’s no championship light at the end of the tunnel. In fact, the only certainty is that the Celtics will be looking up to the Lakers in short order.

Delusional

George making a huge difference in OKC. Solid 6th seed

Lol.... I can't tell if you're joking or not. They have 2 legitimate all Stars and are stuck at 6. And that's where this forum wants the Cs to be?

I don't feel Ainge should be canned. What you're saying is true about context. However, he does need to answer on why did he pass up deals for Paul George and Kawhi with the goal of saving his assets for AD then not achieving his goal. Not saying they should have outbid the lakers but he did essentially sacrifice this season so he could try to have his cake and eat it too.

He wanted to run it back and thought they could win. He didn't take into consideration that this isn't a video game and Terry Rozier isn't David Lee. He wasn't going to be happy taking a backseat to a player that he thought he was superior to. Maybe Ainge knew the whole time Kyrie was going to NY. But if you're going to try and win a title then go for it. Trading Rozier would have solved a lot of issues. Now you're left with no choice in bringing a player back who was just as guilty as Kyrie in detonating the chemistry of this team and just got done nationally throwing the team and coaches under the bus. Just because you need to consistantly defend picking him where you did in the draft when everyone called it a reach. I believe that plays a huge part in the Rozier love from Danny.

Spurs
Pistons
Heat
Lakers
Mavs
Warriors
Cavs
Raptors

So in 16 years, only 9 teams have won titles. Let's fire the GMs from the 21 other teams as well. :lol:

And you know this how? Maybe the other teams were asking for more than was reasonable to deal for certain players, don't you think?

Ainge didn't pass up a deal on George though. He had one agreed to but, Pritchard backed out and took the better deal (AB, Crowder, 3 picks <<< Oladipo, Sabonis).

My dude. It was his judgement on trial in the post. 3 first rounders for Winslow

Not 3 first rounders for Davis.

Anything else I can spell out for you?

Am I supposed to give a crap about any other team? Is a Patriots fan supposed to feel bad because no other team in the AFC East has competent management enough to put a competitive team on the table?

Likewise, what other teams have had the plethora of assets Ainge has had at his disposal?

Go ahead, I’ll wait...

Trading up for Winslow counts as going for it? :lol:

Ainge had no assets other than Pierce and Walker when he first started, and he had a title within 5 years. Tore it down to the studs in 2013, had the team back to the ECF within 4 years. We were one Gordon Hayward injury and a sane Kyrie Irving away from Anthony Davis.

But go ahead and think Ainge did a bad job.

Anyone that thinks trading Tatum for a 1 year rental needs to seek therapy and be quick about it.

I think Ainge did a commendable job up until 2017.

But you can’t carry around a treasure chest of assets and swing and miss on Paul George and especially Kawhi Leonard (by refusing to deal Brown and Rozier no less, good god :nonono:) and let your “star” in Kyrie walk away for NADA and still be in good graces.

He’s had a hell of a run here. There’s no debating that. But the time has come for a change. I don’t think I’m wrong in suggesting that, especially with his health issues.

I really hope Tatum becomes a superstar, people will warp it to that Tatum was a can’t miss pick and everybody knew he was an MVP calibre player.

We ain’t winning **** with PG.He has sucked the last 2 postseasons and got bounced in the first round. Not trading for sucks but we didn’t do it because Ainge wanted AD. Before the season we didn’t know everything would turn to ****. Like literally everything against our way in the last season. That’s **** luck. It’s pretty simple we traded for the wrong star at the time we didn’t know it but considering what we gave up it’s a deal you make.

Return to Boston Celtics
