Danny Ainge on weei @ 4:20pm today

Danny: If I conclude we can't win a championship I won't necessarily do anything because I might not have any value coming back.

Cap space is over rated but it provides opportunity.

There's no quick fix.(I named a thread that 2 days ago).

danny is a guy you can get honest answers out of, and Ordway and Holley are asking him lollipop question.

LOL...Danny sounds like he's on a treadmill at times.

You gotta give it to him though, he is much better than Belichick at disguising the fact that he wants to finish every sentence with "you idiot".

Danny: I didn't underestimate what Kendrick Perkins meant to this team. The problems last year had nothing to do with Kendrick Perkins not being here.

Yeah, you really do.

[nickagneta]

Danny: Challenging to build a team by paying money to role players before having your superstar(s).

[nickagneta]

Danny: Shaq never told me he wouldn't be healthy during the season.

No prob.

I did not hear the interview, but I love the fact that he said this "The players came in unprepared." I love GM's that put the blame where it belongs.

[CelticSooner]

TP for the heads up.

The thing is, I can't think of anything that was actually reported that was innacurate.  The problem was everyone (reporters, and readers) took the little to no information they had, and let their imaginations run wild.

Is it really news that teams were calling about Paul Pierce, in case the C's were blowing it up?  Isn't that the job of every GM to do?

Is it news that the Lakers, whose best SF might be Meta World Peace, are one of the teams that inquired?

Those aren't rumors, those are just stating the obvious of things that happen every day in the NBA.

Yeah but some media took at farther and ran with it making it look like it was something bigger and more immediate and imminent than it was and for that, you can't believe everything you read.

Accept the facts as they are reported and put a bit more context into them, like you said. GM's do this calling of each other everyday.

I still say Wojo reported the Pierce thing to enhance an otherwise boring Perk article and generate web hits. There was nothing there of substance.
