Looks like TA was smart to go to Memphis. He has been thriving since punching Mayo.

That botched trade with Indiana certainly didn't help the Mayo/Memphis relationship... here's hoping he's available this offseason (bbd sign & trade + a first for Mayo?)... I can dream, can't I?

And Memphis has been thriving since TA started getting more minutes.

Meanwhile, the Cs just traded their 26 year old starting center for a guy in Jeff Green whose per 36 minute numbers are eerily similar to TA's, only Jeff Green doesn't provide shutdown defense at 3 positions, and it'll take a lot more than 3.3 million per year to retain him.

Miscalculating TA and allowing him to go to Memphis is the biggest blunder in Danny's tenure, and the Perk trade was a direct result of that blunder.
Folly. Persist.

Tony certainly has been playing well, for a month.

Yeah, letting a turnover-prone, poor-shooting and overall low bball-IQ player who's played well for half-a-season is a huge blunder.

It's easy to compare Per 36 numbers without mentioning that there is not a single team that would give Allen close to the minutes that Green gets.

It wasn't the biggest mistake but it was a mistake. He was huge in the playoffs last year, being one of our key rotation players. We didn't need to pay him that much more

Awesome!!! Danny Ainge is a God. I love that man. Did it ever pay off?! The Perk deal was a coup! An amazing course of events. I don't trust Perk to mobile for the better part of 5 more years. Jeff Green will learn a ton from these guys, there's no reason why he can't pan out to be third guy in a future big 3. TP to DA.

TA always plays good for a month... and then he's bad for 11.  It's the TA cycle.

I'm with you in wishing we had TA, but the Perk trade was not a direct result of letting him go.  Doc and Danny were never comfortable having Tony as the only wing off the bench (hence the Finley signing).  They wanted more offensive options after flaming out of the finals cuz they couldn't and neither Perk nor TA provided that.

How is his playing well in Memphis an indictment of Danny? TA wanted to not play behind 2 HOFers and to have a fresh start. He would still be relegated to a bench player here while he is starting and contributing there.

Was Danny supposed to overpay TA to convince him to sacrifice opportunity to regain his career?

Wait. You mean the guy everyone called a player who could have good stats on a lousy team is actually putting up good stats on a lousy team? I am shocked!
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Jeff Green isn't in the same ballpark as Tony  :-\ , if you took tony's athletic ability, marquis daniels calm brain (not the stoned version) and a 6'9" frame you have jeff green
green has defended c, pf and sf and depending on the matchups anywhere from fair to very good
tony has defended pg, sg and sf with the same range, he is a good defender but has never been lock down against an upper tier player at any of those posistions
tony is a bench player, i'd take dwest over him, better shooter, smaller but less turnovers
