Fire Danny Ainge!

[Rondo9]

Can I also asked when was the last time Danny have drafted in the top 10 lottery prior to 2014?

Since you can get all-star players while picking outside of the top 10 (about 6 or 7 players on this year's all star teams fit that list, for example), your question isn't particularly relevant to what I asked, but Ainge has had 4 chances to draft in the top 10.

Trade #5 for Ray Allen (Great move)
Trade #7 (as Randy Foye) for Sebastian Telfair (Freakin' disaster)
Drafted Marcus Smart (Jury out)
Drafted Jaylen Brown (jury out)

That spot doesn't really matter, anyway as Danny drafted Rondo using the PHX's #21 in the same night. He got a gamble with the Telfair trade and hit the jackpot with the Rondo draft.

Of course it matters.

Anige got an All Star so I say that matters.

Hey, we are at least three or four years of failed fireworks away before this is a real discussion.

Sorry but Anige is here to stay. I'm sure he has plan B's and C's if Plan A doesn't succeed.

Plan A crapped out years ago.  They're already considerably further down the alphabet.

And how do you know that?

One only has to have listened to the team during the years to know that.  It's not something that's been denied.  It's something that's been acknowledged.

And, for the record, plans often fail.  The question for us, as fans, and the same question that every fan base faces, is how much failure to put up with.

The failure of the Telfair move is what it is.  Rondo doesn't change that failure anymore than any other Celtics draft pick changes it, which is not at all.

Is this a new Fire Danny Ainge Thread or does the thread get bumped every draft?

Which is just your speculation than fact

And I say is still a success due to rondo being an all star

Ainge has been horribly overrated for years by you perverts

[crimson_stallion]

Someone has to say it.  This is beyond awful.  He has always been terrible at drafting...

He should get an extension for not taking Bender!

This

The fact that he didn't take Bender or Murray is enough to convince me to give him a break!

[chambers]

I would have liked Dunn or Hield over Brown, but I'm still fine with the pick. These guys change their games so much over the months leading up to the draft and i can see how Brown's workouts could have been amazing.
 He's 19 years old too.

Im just glad we didn't take Murray.
Wasn't thrilled with the clips pick but we didn't have much choice.

[celticsclay]

We did it!

Edit: For the record I didn't love the Brown pick and was upset we didn't get Butler. That being said, I never speak out publicly against ainge now cause he just crushes me.

Roy, all these "jerk reaction" threads that are being bumped need to go to the HOF, along with the "Horford Mediocre" and "Still a Rozier Fan" threads! 

[Quetzalcoatl]

Seriously.  Fire him.  He's just gonna mess up Brooklyn's pick next year too.

Haha this is such a hot take.  I am really glad that I did not post in this thread in 2016

I did.

"You must be about 15 years old.

If you lived through the 90s, you realize how bad things can be. No playoffs. Bad teams. No hope. Trading away picks for marginal players.

Things right now are pretty [dang] awesome. 48 wins. Huge cap space. Massive number of draft picks so he can afford to swing for the fences on most every pick. Probable great picks in forthcoming years. The guy has brought us 1 NBA Championship and 1 other Finals visit. He just about doubled the win total over the last 2 years. Made the playoffs most years. Considered one of the best GMs in the league.

More bad than good? You must have never seen bad.

Yeah, fire Ainge! Let's bring back the good ole' Pitino days!"

I feel like I saw this same thread last year, but it was first created in 2016? Merge 'em all!
