If this is true he should have done it last year when we could have brought in Morey to replace him.

Funny I started a poll in trade forum about if Danny should be fired less than 5 minutes before that tweet.

That tweet is making my day!!!!


Fire Danny or force him to "step down"

It feels like its time, he's was a great GM for ahwile but his decisions the last couple years have been horrible. I think we should hire Kevin McHale.

Won't be mad, might be time for a change in direction anyway.

I think Zarren is the replacement with us hiring a new assistant GM

Kenny the Jet Smith?
Kevin Garnett?

I think he's become a bit overrated. He basically lucked out being able to swap an overpaid DeRozan for Kawhi because Pop's over the hill. He's still top 3 though, so I couldn't be mad at it. Presti is another guy I'd look into.

The irony of Ainge's career ending at the hands of the Nets...

Presti's main thing is tanking. His non-tanking moves have been pretty horrendous, like choosing Ibaka over Harden, choosing Russ over KD.

I’m pretty excited about this. Danny was great, but they desperately need a fresh voice.

Bring in Kenny Smith!!
