One NBA GM told me, "Danny Ainge is the best GM in the league" while discussing all his trades of Jeff Green, Brandan Wright, etc. #Celtics

He just might be but the NBA has some really terrible GM's to compete with. Doc Rivers traded for his son for goodness sakes.

Buford deserves his rep as the best. But Danny is far more transactional, more out of necessity than anything else. And that may make him a touch more top of mind right now.

I'll continue to state that Ainge doesn't get the respect he deserves on this blog. Guy continues to do a tremendous job.

One thing is for sure, Ainge is about to get the opportunity to prove if he is or isnt. If a few things go his way and he manages to hit on a couple of picks he will look like a genius. Then if he manages to trade picks for quality players he could build a dynasty. There are a lot of ifs though.

I think it's as close to impossible as it can get to come up empty on all those picks... even if the Cavs were picking.

Hope so.   Our future depends on it.
