For us old school Celtics fans, we user to see Red pick up an old playoff tough vet and you would ask yourself... why are we signing Daye. Gilmore, Sichting, Wedman, Walton, Xman.
Red had a sense of what was needed. He also told Ainge some of the best deals you don't make end up being the best deal. That's the Ainge we see...he's too cautious and relying on draft. Red knew for it now because things change in a year and who you thought wouldn't be available is now available...see KG. Players are finicky and worried about various things.
