Danny.. ..this constant lying thing. It's got to stop. I get that you thought this was the best way to help the team short term and long term. I get that it's your job and you're confident. I get that your values may be different especially since you yourself was traded.

But this lying thing is getting out of hand. It's so out of hand that you have other people lying for you and with you now.

Let's look at the following things said by you and your associates in the past few weeks.

1. We offered an extension to Perk and he didn't take it and we were afraid we'd lose him.


Did you talk to him? How'd he look in those Thunder profile pics? Happy to be with a new team that might give him the money? How does he sound about throwing out his shoes? A guy whose heart wasn't in Boston? A guy who wanted every cent? Did he hold out for every cent in the past? Cmon Danny. Cmon.

2. We think Nenad is a starting center in this league.

In this league? Maybe. On a championship team? On our team? There's lots of starting centers in this league. Start Chris Johnson there tomorrow. Boom. Starting center. Nazr Mahommed? Kwame Brown? Darko? All starting centers I guess.

3. Jermaine O'Neal will be healthy for the playoffs. Danny. Jermaine. The last time we saw this guy he could hardly walk. Boy who cried wolf at best. Either you lie about injuries or the team has medical staff issues.

4. Tommy says Semih wants to go back to Turkey. Highly convenient. Way to keep a tight lid on that till juuuusssssttt the right time, and the time just happens to be damage control time and we don't trust you any more so you get Tommy to say it for you. Oh Danny. Danny Danny Danny.

5. You would have traded Bird before he got old. Actually I rather believe you on this. That's the problem. I know you think it would have been great to trade him for Clyde Drexler, Sam Bowie and a bag of peanuts in 1988 and that's the problem. Hey Danny. Do me a favor ok? Try not to trade Lucky for the Suns Gorilla and a draft pick, and try not to trade Red's statue and Bill's new medal he got from Obama for 40 pieces of silver ok? If someone calls you offering a great deal for Paul Pierce involving a young starter and a Euro just hang up. Nobody will think less of you. It's ok. Just let it go.



Hey Danny. I know you were traded son. I know you wanted to be here. It's not your fault Danny. It's not your fault.



 No look at me. It's not your fault.




It's not your fault son.

Some of the stuff Ainge says is ridiculous, but that's part of the job. The team wants the fans to feel good, to buy tickets and merchandise, not depressed.

Um, i get that you do not like the move but none of your 5 points is actually a verifiable lie.

I heard ainge yesterday on eei and the night of the trade on csn and i thought he was honest (while framing the move in the positive light he thinks it should be framed in seeing as he executed the trade)

  So, just to be clear, Semih might want to go back to europe and you're mad at Danny for waiting until after he traded Semih to mention this? Seriously?

I love Danny. The Celtics are 3-0 with Green and Kristic. The starting offense has never looked better and I can see glimpses of Green's potential as a super 6th man.
Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.
