Serious question- is The Mighty 'Trader Danny' Ainge rep that we keep reading about just total BS from his horde of embarrassing butt kissing media stooges? Take a look at this list of his supposed best trades:
https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/celtics/best-decade-danny-ainges-top-10-celtics-trades How is that impressive? What great trades and massive hauls has he really pulled off? He's taken advantage if a couple of moron GMs a couple of times but I'm not very impressed overall- he's blown more than he's made |

Take a look at this list of his supposed best trades: He's overrated. He's a good team president, but I still look at the poor job he did with that draft "stash" he accumulated in Boston. Also, you can blame him for Boston ultimately becoming a place thatstar players actively avoided. The Isaiah Thomas situation still kinda hangs over the organization. Also, his draft history is kinda meh. He hit with Tatum and Brown, but the rest of his picks are kinda all over the place. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

Take a look at this list of his supposed best trades: The article is a bit biased on its face as it changes the standard for what a good trade means. If getting the b at player in the trade is the reasoning, it should work on all trades. If it’s getting a haul, that’s what it should mean. I think Ainge is a volatile GM. I don’t mean this in the negative sense. I think he is more likely to blow things up and move on to a new rebuild than the next guy. I respect that because it recognizes that middling lottery teams really are in the doldrums. You need to be really good or really bad. I think Ainge would blow up this Knicks squad and rebuild. Hope to pull a Tatum in the next drafts. He blew up a team better than ours with the same intent. I don’t think it’s that he is a trader so much as he isn’t afraid to pull the plug and isn’t emotionally tied to any positions. When it stops working, change it up. You know I gonna spin wit it

We should just go to war with what we have now I actually like our roster as is |

Take a look at this list of his supposed best trades: You really think the knicks are desperate after being rejected by KD? Stop pretending you know what Ainge is thinking, its insulting to the man who has spend his life as a professional Baseball player and had a long career as NBA player and exec. You at least might try to throw out its your opinion and perhaps take other stabs at alternative thinking. Like simply its pretty freaking obvious the guy wants to play in NY and we have build an asset base to make trades. Because of that and yes he like the whole world our asset base that we could pay a high price and its his job to extract the most amount of value for a trade. At the same time, Leon likely understands its ok to pay up but that there will be a future and he has to still plan for it. Knicks play this game that we must get other teams stars. Fans enjoy that. Since we don’t get the experience of a rebuild we have to go with this. I do like the roster because it has elements of internal growth. Fans of course want to move away often to a sure thing. RJ is not a sure thing. Randle is not a sure thing. EF is not a sure thing. Grimes gets universal and it might be a bit over the top, but our yoot is quite enjoyable but lets be real we don’t have a lot of history with this. Not since Starks and Mase have we banked on unsure talent. In return we flipped them (with other assets) for LJ and Spree. Back to today. IM kind of ok with both directions as its not in my control. Its no secret this teams treasure of picks and movable role players makes them prime for a trade. Its unatainable to have that many rookies actually be drafted and developed. My hope is we can do a hybrid. Still have enough yoot left to manage the cap and enjoy the development while the team continues to improve. Still have enough picks left to wheel and deal and find some gems in the process. They also become trade fodder too. As are IQ, Obi, Grimes, Deuce, and cam. One or two will go in a trade with Utah. Grimes has the highest value given his solid play and contract. I don’t think he has a great upside though. A good one, but not allstar. A Gary Trent Jr with better defense type. |

Truth is their fairly new owner is taking that approach and hiring him was obviously deliberate. Take a team that has reached its limit. It did not have the trade assets to add to Rudy and DM, so they went logical tear down. Something we never did DELIBERATELY. |

Tweet was deleted or there was problem with the URL: I have never seen a pro athlete disrespect other pro athletes like this. Maybe the rumors are true that his ego has gotten the best of him since the bubble where he was hanging with other Allstars. Sorry maybe its nothing but to me its a warning sign. We really don't need another huge ego on this team |

While its ok for Yankèes and Mets fans to denigrate the other team, Maybe not the best idea for a pro athlete with aspirations of playing in NY to do so given the divisiveness among NYC fanbases. To put it another way.....how would we feel about Aaron Judge tweeting the "Knicks Suck" after a loss to the Nets. |

Not to mention that Utah fans don't seem to be disappointed that he is getting traded. I really like our rising drama free team and I am starting to rethink gutting it for Mitchel (and my idea of gutting it isn't even close to what Ainge wants). Wasn't there something written that he prefers Miami? He wants a team already knocking on the doorstep of the finals. He doesn't want to be on a rebuilding teams. Makes me wonder if he opts out of the final year of his player option to ring chase. Im all in with running it back with what we got. |
