DA, i see you are debating tarheels and a few other regulars about ainge. trust me, you wont get anywhere but back to your original points and no difference will have resulted.
they wont listen. they have shown this many times. the points they are trotting out are virtually the identical points they have made for years now.
proof, logic, their illogic, their inconsistency....throw it all in their faces and it wont matter. they will continue to seek out those points/data that support their pre-existing emotional preferences.
you have a great point here and i give you a tp for it. but may i suggest that once you see a cb poster begin to repeat him or herself in a debate that you walk away, get beer, drink some kombucha, smell some flowers, or take a nap.
all of those activities are time much better spent. 
Not true. Although I don't agree in this case, I will always listen and consider the points made by someone with a different view, and besides, I could say the exact same thing about your side concerning logic, etc,. but whatever. No big deal. This article by Bill Simmons is absolutely incredible, and I'm citing it here because I couldn't have said it any better myself (KG trades aside) -

I had completely forgotten about Danny's interest in Yi 
, but I seem to recall him saying that he felt that Yi was like KG . WHAT!?
Actually, in looking over his transactions as a gm on hoopshype, he's even worse than I thought. Only about a year into the job, he fired Dick Harter. Really? I mean, seriously - who does that? Have a look for yourself. Why oh why on Sebastian Telfair? Why - and what about his signing of Mark Blount, at 28 years old, to a 6 year deal? Forget the money - that's just plain ridiculous, as was his free agent acquisition of Scal. *facepalm*
Additionally, if you want to use hindsight here, it's not a pretty picture. Why take back Raef's contract when Isiah Thomas was dumb enough to propose a Walker-Sprewell trade? I'm not talking about acquiring Spree, btw, because McHale ultimately ended up getting him from Zeke, so why couldn't we have just facilitated a 3-team deal where the Knicks get Antoine, Minnesota gets Sprewell, and we get Terrell Brandon's contract that expired at the end of 2003-04 and another player to make the numbers work, because both Toine and Sprewell's deals were for $13.5 million, and Brandon's was for $11.1, plus a couple of first rounders from the Knicks for 2004 and down the road? That way we still would have gotten Big Al, another pick or two, and instant salary cap relief. What's not to like?
the whole point of raef's contract was that we were able to turn it into ratliff's contract, so that we could turn it inot KG's contract. We would't have had the space outright
Man NASA sucks. They just LUCKED into making it tot he moon
WE WON A CHAMPIONSHIP WITH AINGE AT THE HELM
Sk8ers gonna sk8
H8ers gonna h8
Right, but what I'm saying is that Ainge didn't specifically acquire Raef's contract way back when so that he could trade it down the road for another contract, etc., as if this was all some sort of grand plan to get KG - unless of course Danny was working with Ms. Cleo (sarcasm)
.
I don't know how you went from Ainge to NASA, btw, lol
, but, in a sense, they did 'luck' (sarcasm) into somehow acquiring and employing
all of those Nazi war criminals, I mean, scientists
, as well as their technology. Our space program wasn't an American space program - it was the German one from world war II, only with a different name and overall goal (space exploration instead of genocide and total war), and, I hate to say it, but we never would have made it into space at that time without them. Ugh. It's one of the more disgusting, disturbing, and sad chapters in our history, quite frankly, which is certainly saying something when you look at all of the other despicable things we've done, and haven't done, over the years.
