I blame Doc. He should be fired.

Thought I'd take the thread there, since that's where every thread seems to go lately.

This wouldn't happen if Rondo wasn't on the team.

He is the assistant GM and was credited with finding Rondo. Now our Front Office talent is leaving. Not a good sign. It is shocking we let him go before the draft. I think we are going to be in trouble.

Here are some links:

"Let him go" Ha. Like, we let him go take a job promotion? Did your boss "let you go" when you were offered a better job that you had been working towards by a competitor?

A bad sign the front office is leaving? Huh? He isn't bailing out of a sinking ship. He is a smart individual taking a better job, being rewarded for his work and promise. It is just as easily seen as a good sign, that the owners and Ainge know how to hire smart, adept employees who others come to value as well.

This perspective written above just seems divorced from reality and based upon finding critique at any and every corner even if it isn't even close to merited.
