We all remember the possible targets that became available and that people were clamoring for. Kawhi, George, Harden, Davis. Danny kinda wanted a couple. Fans wanted most to all. Adding one of those guys meant a title, or so many thought. But Ainge refused to add a Smart, or a Brown or a Tatum.
Well, if the C's win the title, that vindicates Danny's unwillingness to trade the youth at that time, right? Multiple titles were always Danny's desired outcome and he chose the youth. His youth. The youth he drafted:
Smart
Brown
Tatum
Timelord
Grant
Pritchard
So was he right not to get those superstars by giving up his young guys?
