Recent Bill Simmons episode, Jackie Mac said she ran into Ainge and he seemed happier than he has in a long time.

Congrats Danny.  I’m happy for his.  Less stress, probably more authority.

Well, that was a short retirement.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Congrats to him.

So it really was him not wanting to deal with the Celtics mess anymore then, huh.

More likely the day to day work of a "GM".

The Jazz already have someone doing that.

Gobert for Prichard and salary filler.

You knew he couldn’t stay away , nor did I ever believe his retiring story,  or not a lot of other things he said over the years.

Sounds like an entirely different job than what he had here as GM.  I don't read this as "sick of running the Celtics" at all.  If he had gone and sought out a GM job elsewhere, sure.

Same.  Even if it was.  He was here for 18 years.  Sometimes people just want a change of scenery.  Especially in their later years after having health issues.
