Now DA should be on the hot seat

Sometimes it think that we deserve 10 years of D. Kahn on the wheel

I often wonder this too. People around here honestly do not remember the pre-Ainge years and how inept management was.

that bought him like how many years in your opinion?

Well -- the championship and the Finals in 2010 that they may have won without a Perk injury did buy him time.   

Then the building from scratch bought him time.

And the ECF Finals appearances 3 of the last 4 years has bought him time.

Not endless time perhaps, but something.

Enough time to see why can happen with his budding 22 year old star.

[SHAQATTACK]

I expect he is feeling a bit of pressure from the fans and everybody ,  the team is going kinda down hill IMO .

Obviously, more than 1 title in the window would've been nice but he's rebuilt this team twice now.  Look at the makeup of the three conference finals teams in the past 4 years too.  Those are three distinctively different teams.  People acting like '20-21 is a lost cause before the season even begins.

Outside of titles, he has a pretty strong resume & track record here.  Let's see where he gets with the Tatum/Brown core first.

[Atzar]

It's hard for me to evaluate this latest run tbh. 

We seem to make the right moves but they continually blow up in our faces.  Based on talent level alone, we should have been contenders for the last three seasons.  Instead Hayward snaps his leg off, our locker room falls apart, Philly throws an idiotic contract at Horford, Kyrie is Kyrie, Charlotte throws an idiotic contract at Hayward, and here we are. 

I don't even know what to say.  It's not luck.  Hayward's injury was rotten luck, but none of the other things have anything to do with luck.  But at the same time, can we really say that we'd do anything differently?  Would we rather be the ones to hand out silly contracts to Horford or Hayward?  Would we rather have kept IT than swing for the fences on Kyrie?  I don't think we would.

Okay......  expectations should be measured and tapered to Indiana and Atlanta levels...

Except they've easily exceeded what either of those franchises have accomplished in this window.   And I don't think its safe to say this team has plateaued yet.

As much as I'd like to be p---ed at Ainge, I'm having a hard time with this one. Charlotte made Hayward a Godfather-type offer. Apparently, Indy didn't. He couldn't have forced this one through. And I was ticked at him for letting Horford go last year, but I think we've seen the answer to that one.

People consider this failure. Toronto should fire ujiri yesterday...

I’m frustrated but that’s basically where I’m at too. Charlotte is such a badly run franchise. It’s hard to compete with garbage GM’ing.

[SparzWizard]

Yeah we ain't paying him triple digit millions again just to be the number 4 guy on the team. Glad he's gone.

But I feel like Ainge might stand pat and do nothing or get some euro/11th man off the bench typa players.

[jbpats]

I agree he should be.
Nobody has convinced me yet that he hasn’t mismanaged this Hayward debacle.

More importantly why hasn’t Tatum signed the super max yet? I’m getting weary of that happening.

There just isn’t something right about Boston right now, top free agents or stars come and leave first chance they can.

Regardless if he did or did not botch the Hayward deal the perception on the league right now is Ainge got greedy and did Hayward dirty. He wanted to go home to Indy and Ainge prevented it to a player that sacrificed plenty this season for the team.

Kyrie couldn’t get out fast enough, Horford as well. He traded IT, which was the right move but from a player perspective he screwed him as well.

I think Ainge has a bad rep, and it’s time for Celtics management to make a change to save the future of this team.

lost all three.

Cause being in the top 4 nba teams is easy.... I wonder why didnt another team do it.

Sixers with the "wonderfull" rebuilt  haven't even sniff ecf

The great Riley and the heat were nowhere to be found since LeBron left

The Nigerian wizard Ujiri failed year after year, won it all and then the failed DA knocked him out

Bucks with the 2 time MVP wach the ECF on TV and were ridiculed with the bogdanovic Fiasko.

But yes... The celtics are poorly managed
