Eh. West has done an amazing job. I grew up in the 80's. The lakers were an amazing team. So are the Celtics. I like what both teams are doing. West by the numbers is really the best GM in basketball for what he has put together there right now. But that's just because he's on top right now. Danny is just as good. Just has to get there where it looks that way.
There is no animosity from me overly. It's fun to see the competition and different ways teams do things. Also educational.
it was very close to going the other way. I like our team too. We just have to get there. I don't want to be like the lakers in the 60's.
West deserves credit where credit is due though. People talk like Russell was this great guy and Durant isn't, but had the situation been different he may have played for Golden State.
We had all those guys. Bird, Mchale, Parish, Walton, dj, ainge. Russell, COusy, Heinsohn etc.. Were they bad people? I don't know. Hats off to jerry west. We have to turn it up.
The rising salary cap allows for these type of super teams. If we had drafted like GS and still gone after Durant we'd be in that position. Even when we had KG, Ray and Pierce I always kind of questioned by Ainge stood pat on certain things. He did try to add Green but eh.
Players like good weather. Big money. Great teams. It is an advantage in ways to be on the west coast but we have our own advantages and hard working gritty style. We have to use that to our advantage.
This is what I don't like about the media is we have to keep our identity and what makes us great.
there is a lot less of that nowadays and difference in identity between teams. You don't see different styles like the pistons back in the day or the differences between the celtics and lakers etc.
