Do you trust Ainge now?

[Monkhouse]

Coming late from work, and saw the text about Ainge finally getting the first pick. And boy, oh boy, that's astounding!

As some users have said previously on this board:

1) Isaiah Thomas has finally stepped it up as a superstar.

2) Ainge made the hard heated deal to trade away KG and Pierce, but in return, acquired the first round pick.

3) Made the Eastern Conference Finals.

4) 1st seed, with home court advantage, with a thunderous crowd that storms and banter these HEAVY SEAS!

5) Brad Stevens emergence, and redemption at his playoff woes lol. (I think its a tad bit unfair, considering how many times we have faced CLE.)

6) Boatload of assets, and road ways to different possible outcomes and moves to create. Signing an free agent would maximize our assets!

So with of that being said, do you trust Ainge now? What are your thoughts, or how would you describe how you feel about him?

Or for a thought, what decisions would you like to tell him to look at, or possibly try?

I want more than a championship, Triboy. We want another dynasty. That is what Ainge is trying to build.

I always trust Ainge with his decision although its quite painful to swallow in hindsight.

[SHAQATTACK]

hard call .....sure he will explore trades and listen to offers galore

i d like to take Fultz and package several other guys like AB for a trade .  But who knows , he might fall in love with tatum ...a CBS type guy.....

I can't say I really want him drafting

As one of the steadfast Ainge supporters around here, the last couple of years have been some sweet, sweet vindication. It almost couldn't be scripted any better.

When people moaned about not making a splash last offeason, I said Ainge was making the right moves. It turned out that the ask on many players was grossly too high.

When Ainge selected Jaylen Brown, there were few of us who supported the pick. Now everyone is seeing the potential of this kid 3-5 years down the road.

When so many cried at this trade deadline, a few of us defenders again said that the pick was too valuable to let go. Now we're in a catbird's seat that has only been experienced by the 77 Trail Blazers and the 81 Lakers - teams who finished 1st in their conference and who had the #1 overall pick.

Yeah, Ainge isn't perfect....but few could turn around a team from an aging core with no future to a ECF-finals team loaded with top 10 picks. Ainge did, case closed. In Danny We Trust.

Ainge is a top 5 GM. Never understood why he gets bashed like he does. Show me a perfect GM. Bet you can't.

Ainge would literally have to be an genius, or brain dead if he somehow botches drafting a first round pick.

Regardless, I trust his judgment, although I feel like Ainge has a certain feel for what players he likes. But don't get me wrong, Ainge loves ballers. Players. The question is if they ever learn how to shoot like him lol.

After Red, Danny is easily the best Celtic GM ever. Red never chose a good GM successor. That guy from Providence sucked. Also the kid who traded Ainge for a pu pu platter. And then there was  Gaston's cheerleader,  followed by the Rickster.  I only wish Larry could have bought the team, but Gaston hated him. Or Bird hated Gaston--which is more appropriate.

[Eja117]

I definitely trust Ainge to realize the way you maximize your trade value is you showcase your young guys in the summer league.

Let them crush it and theeeenn  you make phone calls. With Yab land Jaylen looking like men among boys it might be a little easier

TP, back at ya.

Was a little disappointed at the Jaylen Brown pick, but warmed up after some research. He's going to be an awesome player in the NBA.

In Danny, we trust!

So if Ainge got the 4th pick tonight (the most likely scenario) and the Cavs sweep us do we trust him a whole lot then?

Just curious how this all works.
