i cannot believe that some people think ainge has hurt this team by accumulating 3 first round draft picks.
if this is the sort of woes that ainge brings to the celtics then we are very fortunate to have him as the GM.
Ummm I think you're not looking at every aspect of what I said or what ainge has done.
For the most part ainge has been great but there's definitely things he has either ignored or been flat out bad at - example acquiring a solid big.
A few things about that. First of all, in a rebuild your roster is not always figured out perfectly. Secondly, he did get Amir Johnson (when he was still a positive impact player), Al Horford, and Aron Baynes. He also signed a German center that was a starter this year and held his own at that position. He then signed Enes Kanter. He drafted a big man in Rob Williams that I know many fans want to write off, but still has some very dynamic upside.
The Cs don't have an all-star center because they have all-star guards and forwards. You can't realistically have all-stars at every position.
I'm on board with getting a center that would move Theis to a backup role. I'd like that upgraded as well. But this narrative that Ainge doesn't ever get big men is simply untrue. He doesn't get bad big men that are celticstrong forum binkies, but that doesn't mean he's done poorly.
