 Ainge and Jerry Colangelo would team up to be the greatest GM pairing in the history of the game.

 Meanwhile Hinkie gets to continue on his path of craziness, with two top five picks four first rounders maybe five, and a good team and great coach.

 If possible would you do this crazy deal.

No not really.

Doing what Hinkie isn't that hard, and I don't even care how calculatingly smart you can be to tank 'properly.' What Ainge has been doing is remaining competitive, accumulating assets, and having the knack for hiring Brad Stevens.

Absolutely. Hell I'd make the deal straight up. Philadelphia fans just need to trust the process. Boston has no real path towards contending again.

Hell No!!!  Hinkie can't draft.  That's why his plan isn't working.  He keeps drafting the same position and drafted a guy who was hurt, badly.  Having the draft picks don;t help if you don't know who to pick or how to put a team together.

Don't insult DA like that. It would take more than Sam Hinkie and a #3 overall pick for Danny Ainge. The Front Office is the most underrated aspect of building a contender. Having a legit FO/Ownership is key to any sustained contender.

Bet you Hinkie can beat the crap out of a video game, though.

 That actually is a great point Decosta. Unless it's number one pic I wouldn't even consider it.
 But for Ben Simmons I'd make the deal, The. Fire Hinkie, hire Scal, then hire Ainge back.

Hinkie just executed the plan that ownership wanted.  If anything, the main bulk of the backlash is based on how supremely he executed that plan.  Tanking on a level we've not seen tanking.

If you look at his moves one by one, he's done a fine job.  They have yet to build a team using the assets but that will come this summer. 

"The process" still might end up failing.  We will not know for a few years.  But to me, Hinkie seems like a perfectly capable GM.  He hasn't "lost" any trades in a significant way.  He isn't some jackwagon like whoever is running the Kings or Hornets.  There are far worse GMs in this league and Hinkie has a healthy respect for the need for superstar talent.

It's not like Hinkie would show up and we'd immediately be a 1-81 team.  If the owners wanted that, he'd deliver that, but I don't think Wyc has interest in this team bottoming out to that extent. 

That philly pick wouldn't be insignificant. It's basically a lock for top 5.   It would instantly be one of our three best assets (along with the Brooklyn pick and Marcus smart).  It would potentially do more for helping us build a contender than any other asset. 

That said, I think Danny ainge is one of the very best GMs in the game and I really wouldn't want any other guy running this team.  He gets it.  Hinkie seems to get it too, but Ainge is a superstar.

Trading Ainge for Hinkie plus Philly's pick, firing Hinkie, and promoting whoever is bring groomed as Ainge's possible replacement would be fine with me.

I'm not convinced that Hinkie is anything special when it comes to drafting outside of the top five, when the choice is less obvious.  He seems like the sort who will try to put together a team that looks more like the Rockets than the Warriors.

need a third option - No, not because Ainge is god but because he's one of the better GMs in the league and Hinkie derailed the Sixers for years already and more years to come.
