Just ran across this, when I was trying to remember what the C's gave up for IT.  Turns out to be Marcus Thornton and a first rounder from Cleveland acquired in the Tyler Zeller deal.

The author correctly gave the C's an A:

Grade for Boston: A

But, went on to make this statement:

Thomas won’t be mistaken for an All-Star, but his arrival signifies the beginning of roster cohesion in Boston.

No?

Thornton and a 25-30 range first for MVP candidate Isaiah Thomas
Rondo for Crowder+Yabu
Pierce KG Terry for at least 2 consecutive top 5 picks.

Ainge is incredible.

I will give the author credit for the A grade.
Can't blame for not thinking of IT as a future Allstar.

[Moranis]

BTW, the pick ended up being Skal Labissiere in the last draft.

Ainge is a savage in the trade market, 'tis true.

we did get zeller, thornton and the pick for our trade exception, we got from the brooklyn deal
so basically IT is another brooklyn deal product

Part of the reason for the results is that Danny and Brad focus on what the players CAN do...NOT on what they can't do...a lesson for us perhaps???
