I don't think Danny cares what Wyc really thinks.

  Have you ever had a job?

maybe i have a job maybe i don't. It has nothing to do with this thread

Whats next, you going to ask me if i have a dog?

  True, it just adds a little perspective to your clao, that Danny doesn't really care what the guy who signs his paychecks thinks. It's not like Danny can just walk into Wyc's office and say "I just traded Rondo for xyz", he'd have to get Wyc's approval to even make the deal.

  FYI, I have 2 dogs.

Last time i checked Wyc is an owner. Some owners don't know jack about basketball. Wyc should sign off on trades and trust Danny is doing his job properly.

But to you Tim, micromanaging works better.

  You must lose a lot of sleep worrying about all those people who just don't see why we need to get rid of Rondo ASAP. Yep, that's micromanaging. Most owners let their GMs work in peace and don't find out that their superstars were traded until they read about it in the paper. Because of all that trust.

Did Wyc have much input when Danny hired Stevens?  Wyc could of said no but he trust DAnny

Danny traded the 5th pick for Ray Allen in 2007-2008. Did Wyc have much time to approve the trade?

There is no truth that Wyc told Danny to set the price high for Rondo.  He won't even know what is really considered high or low for Rondo. Like us fans don't really know. Danny knows best

i'm not implying that. But Tim thinks Wyc is the ultimate GM of the org , when that job belongs to Danny

The perfect example was trading the 5th for Ray Allen. I mean honestly how much time do you really have to make this trade happen??  Does Wyc need to think about it in detail first?

Owners definitely have a say in terms of how much money can be offered to a player (especially max), if they are willing to pay the luxury tax, but not setting high standards in terms of getting returns back. They likely don't even know what is considered being overpaid or not

You talk in a lot of absolutes as if you have intimate knowledge of what's happening behind the scenes. Its pretty naive to think Wyc & Co. wouldn't have final say in a lot of Celtics moves - we're a team that's in the luxury tax and ownership foot the bill. What CEO/Owner in any business would give managers a blank check and no supervision?

Not a very competent or responsible one.

Thats your opinion. I think you are too Rondo crazy to think objectively.

  Again, I think you're making this up out of whole cloth. When I said "It's not like Danny can just walk into Wyc's office and say "I just traded Rondo for xyz", he'd have to get Wyc's approval to even make the deal" I thought that would be common knowledge among people who follow the sport relatively closely. Apparently not.

This just sounds like a deliberate counterleak to Houston leaking that Rondo talks were happening.  Maybe I'm just seeing conspiracies everywhere though.

Do you not think Ainge and ownership didn't have prior discussions about alternative strategies on draft night? Especially since we didn't get one of the top 2 like we were hoping. I mean come on, we just bombed the tank - I guarantee ownership and Danny had at least one meeting where Ainge provided other ideas and trade targets prior to draft night.

Some posters agreed with me. Alot don't. I don't really care to be honest.

Imo we are going to better team without Rondo being in charge.  I'm already dreading at the tought of Dragic running circles around Rondo tonight
