I HATE Boston with every fiber of my being, but I LOVE KG, so I was happy for him.
This just sucks tho to have Boston win it all by basically loading up on stars. No real team building over time and thru the draft. This is what Isiah would've loved to have done, but he didn't know how to do it right.
Let me just say this about Ainge. This guy screwed us when Rasheed was available and he basically gave an assist to Detroit so they could get Rasheed. He took on Chucky Atkins and Lindsey Hunter so they could get the deal done. He even said that he didn't want to see NY get Rasheed. Then McHale hands his boy a title by giving them KG. Ainge had done nothing up to that point as a GM and now he can gloat and look like some genius. Everyone wanted him fired before McHale gifted him KG.
You were skeptical from jump ball and all they did from day one is prove to you and other naysayers wrong. I distinctly remember your prove it statements and how K.G. and Allen weren't spring chickens anymore. Please stop the crying and whining over Mchale and Ainge. Mchale rejected Ainge a couple of times before he even made the deal. K.G. even rebuffed the Celtics. Ainge turned to Iverson, Marion, and made an overture to Jermaine O'neal afterwards. Ainge clearly stated if they didn't land in the Lottery K.G. more than likely wasn't going to be a Celtic. Also Mchale didn't just give K.G. away he got back a lot in the deal, in which the rest of the league didn't pony up. So give it a rest already
