Good to hear directly from him. All makes sense. Patience!

[mctyson]

He is a great GM.  So glad he runs this franchise.  There was no reason to do anything that would jeopardize this current team's success or our future flexibility (ie: Howard, Dwight).

speaking of 'talking about no deadline deals'.... I was listening to 98.5 this afternoon and just thought the Felger and Mazz crew was an absolute embarrassment.

They literally never talk Cs, and then becuase they have nothing else to talk about today, they dive in and display their total lack of Cs or even NBA knowledge in virtually any shape or form.

Bottom line: they didn't talk about the current team and it's players for a second -- they simply dismissed how quickly they've gone from rebuild initiation to E Conference relevance based on Ainge's handy work.

All they did was cry about Al Horford -- because they have nothing at stake if trading the BKN pick for him turns out to be an epicly dumb deal, considering they never talk Cs anyway... just don't care about 'em. I heard the phrase "badly missed opportunity" 4 times in 40 minutes. 

I was dying for Ainge to call in and kick Felger's a$$.

I stopped listening to those guys as soon as I got satellite radio. Neither of them know squat about basketball and Felger downright hates his hometown Celtics.

It's just so painful. He did this bit about how useless Top 5 picks are where they named the last 80 of 'em (this century). Once they got into it, he starts back peddling because they're listing off superstars over and over again, not to mention excellent players who aren't busts. They find a few Evan Turners and Anthony Bennetts and harp away....

Meanwhile, the guys are trying to talk about players they know nothing about. They call Ty Evans an "impact player", but call Derrick Favors a "bust". I'm like turning red in the car.

I tried to call in to ask (but couldn't get through):

Question: How many teams with the 3rd worst record or worse at the February deadline have traded their pick at that time during those 16 years for an existing NBA player?

Answer: None (i think, but wasn't worried about their ability to prove me wrong).

And do you know why talk show team? Because no GM is stupid enough to risk losing a shot at a future superstar who is 20 years old -- the only thing that wins championships in the NBA -- to rent a non-superstar who's 30 and certainly won't bring them a championship!!!

Just because you're bored, impatient radio hosts doesn't make you smart.

I have the feeling that we will sit on our "assets" forever...

Why should he have pressure ? He won us a title already and contended for 5 years

then

He got us 3 lottery picks for an over the hill kg and pp

plus we have space to add 2 max contracts this summer

What, you don't want to add eight rookies to the roster next season? Shame on you!

I do wish Danny made at least one small move. He already acknowledged that we aren't good enough to really compete and now we have to watch them struggle in the first round again. I love our team, but am on the consolidation bandwagon - even if it means getting ripped off a little.

that was a year ago.   how much do you do in a year at work?    i imagine you guys don't pay for league pass or tickets?      i'm not blaming ainge.    the nba kind of sucks.   its a league that lets years go by and nothing happens unless you have one of the ten best players.

F&M know where their bread is buttered -- knowledgeable Celts fans are not their target audience.

Felger in particular has often been openly proud of how little he knows or cares about the NBA.

Billy King needs to be put in charge of a new franchise, pronto.

Exactly -- if I had time before they hung up on me I planned to point out that they were asking Ainge to be as stupid as the GM he'd fleeced to get the pics in the first place.
