Couldn't it be an average offseason? Who knows who was really available, and for how much. There's no guarantee we won't win a title this year and there's no guarantee that a different move would have solidified a title. To me, a good offseason would have been to get Posey or similarly effective player(s) at a reasonable price. On the other hand, I think a "terrible" offseason would have resulted in a massive long-term contract to a player who wouldn't live up to it...such as the deal Posey ultimately got. Because Ainge didn't saddle himself with such a terrible contract, it can't really be a terrible offseason. It wasn't a good one either, but somewhere in between.
What upsets me is that the New Orleans owners already want a do-over on Posey...while when the deal went down, many of the more rational minds out there knew that it was a terrible deal for a player like Posey. If only New Orleans had had their heads screwed on straight, our offseason could have been much better. Unfortunately, it only takes one idiot with a mid-level exception to screw things for the rest of the teams out there.
