Danny Ainge to be on WEEI at noon

[PickNRoll]

paraphrasing

"Bill Walton broadcast 10-12 Cal games last year.  Fans booing the pick don't know Jaylen Brown.  If you want to know more about JB, ask Bill Walton."

"Some of the deals on the internet would have been no brainers. But they weren't real.  They were missing big pieces."

i must admit that Glen O. is giving him the business...NO softy questions.

[Csfan1984]

Lol he is under attack

I believe it. They were probably also asking for Smart or the Nets 2017 pick.

more or less saying that Evan Turner is gone

[jpotter33]

Danny just said that even very reliable sources aren't always right on the rumors. And that things were said by reliable reporters that were not there

There it is then. The reported offers where not accurate.

Isn't this illogical and inconsistent? Danny clearly has a motive for damage control right now. He's not any more reliable than any of the other beat writers or reporters that were reporting the trade offers, yet the Noel trade was never rebuffed by any source.

For those of you listening, a summary when it's all over would be highly appreciated (and worth a TP).

[PickNRoll]

"Brown isn't a finished product.  FT shooting and decision making need work, but his athleticism will let him play now and improve over 3-5 years.  Been watching Jaylen for years already and if he hadn't entered this draft, he projected to maybe be (the) top pick next year as well."

"Jaylen was a top-rated HS phenom only behind Ben Simmons.  Didn't have a great freshman year, but what if he'd been in a different setting... at Duke, e.g.?"

"I don't mind being booed.  The best picks are booed.  Reactions are emotional.  There were a lot of good choices but maybe none of them would've been popular."

Was a great interview . Both guys put Ainges feet to the fire .

As they should have.


Ainge is an aweful drafter .....fab , JJJ, ......he talks about not paying attention to draft boards ....sounds like he really needs to pay more attention .

Brown is a good pick .   But the opportunity to improve the Celtics via Philly was of epic screw ups .

The pick would have been twice as valuable traded for a front court players we need so bad.

He needs to listen to other people .   Or quit.

[Celtics18]

What channel is that on the dial?

Rightttt. Listen to people who are talking on the Internet and not getting paid the millions he is. No thanks, I'd take my millions and my job extension and keep doing what got me all that!

I still dont get

Who from philly can help us?

Maybe there is a reason they want to trade home wrecker Noel

Ainge showing a lot of confidence there in Brown, saying that if he had stayed in school he'd likely be the #1 pick next year.

Which is just plain crazy talk.  Sophomores will never be taken #1.  Not when you have guys like Giles and Jackson as freshmen next year.

[TheBigTicket23]

Also saying he will keep exploring the trade market, even before the start of FA. 'Back on it today'
