Ainge's strategy is to increase the quality of the assets he has any time he can.

I think Rondo won't bring back someone who is equal in quality to him which is why I would be surprised if he's moved.

His hopes is that if he trades two c assets for a b asset that he will be able to collect enough B assets to eventually trade for an A asset.

Danny Ainge's strategy has been consistently inconsistent.

Ainge's strategy has been pretty consistent. 

-Don't take on additional salary commitments beyond 2015
-Don't give up any first-round picks
-Be willing to violate those rules if a star becomes available
-Concentrate more on acquiring talent than filling positional needs
-Don't give away talent for pennies on the dollar


IMO, Danny has no set strategy.......he is open to trade just about anyone and then later on trade for them back again. He makes good draft selections, makes bad draft selections.....hires head coaches, fires head coaches....all buying time for the next opportunity to be gifted a hall of fame type player from an ex-teammate.

When will that last part happen again, 2017 or 2027?

What do you consider a set strategy?  I think it would be completely moronic to plan around trading for a specific player or signing a specific free agent or drafting a specific rookie.
