Can you guys name all the centers Ainge refused to draft or sign?

DeAndre Jordan is the big one in my mind. Also, we worked out JaVale McGee, and he is playing pretty well for the Lakers.

Can you guys name some others?

I could be wrong but i think at the time McGee insisted on a longer contract than what DA was willing to give him.

I think it was the opposite. Ainge wanted a second year team option; McGee’s agent wanted a one year deal.

Ainge traded Garnett for Deandre Jordan. The NBA vetoed the deal. Thats how we ended up with plan B (nets picks)

One of the proposed trades attached to the eventual deal that got Rivers out of the final three years of his contract in Boston and allowed him to sign a new three-year deal with Los Angeles had the Clippers sending Jordan and a draft pick to the Celtics for Garnett.


It was a side deal that the NBA nixed because such side deals go against league rules. Rivers said he's happy the deal fell apart. He had hoped there would be a way for the Clippers to land Garnett, but not at the expense of Jordan.
