It's shouldn't be "Fire Ainge"....it should be "Ainge is ON FIRE".
(1) C’s got Isiah Thomas from Phoenix for Marcus Thornton and the Cleveland 1st rd pick next year.
Great example of the Danny Ainge magic. He was able to send a vet SG who they don’t need + a late 1st rd pick (one of a collection of 1st rd picks) and get a quality starting PG who is under contract for the next 3 years at decent money. This will take some of the pressure off Smart and let him play some SG.
Overall, Ainge took the Paul Pierce trade exception and turned it into Zeller and Thomas. Brilliant.
(2) C’s traded Tayshaun Prince to Detroit for Jonas Jerebko and Luigi Datome.
Salary dump. Jerebko has a $4.5m expiring contract and Datome has $1.8m (qualifying offer for next season if C’s desired).
Beautiful.
Danny is on a mission to get Banner 18. If you don't believe that, then feel free to jump off the bandwagon into a snowbank.
