 2014 Jokic 40th pick
 2016 Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley instead of Yabu.
 
 2012 Will Barton over Fab Melo
 2014 Garry Harris over James Young

 Milsap could have been signed over Gordon

 2013 Plumlee over Olynyk, although we probably should have gone with the freak.

 Lots of Mistakes Danny.

Brown and Murray are equal at worst

The other guys were skipped by half the league

Drafter Danny is not a good drafter.

He's more notorious for Trader Danny.

Paul Millsap PTS/REB
Game 1: 19/6
Game 2: 14/11
Game 3: 17/13
Game 4: 21/10
Game 5: 24/8

Gordon Hayward PTS/REB
Game 1: 13/4
Game 2: 5/0
Game 3: 10/7
Game 4: 2/3
Game 5: 7/2

I don't know about that, but I rather have Millsap over Gordon based on these statistics in the second-round of the playoffs.

Absolutely. I would be concerned about Millsap-Horford getting dominated on the boards ala Atlanta though.

 Comments like these sigh.

 The point is, other GM's are doing much more with much less Chip's. That should tell you something about team building.

 Newsflash. If your watching the playoffs. Murray is better than Brown and it's not close.

The Brown point is ridiculous, Jaylen has been a great two way wing player who can play off ball or create his own shot well, and didn't really put up gaudy stats because of his low usage. Murray may look better aesthetically but the "disparity" between the two players isn't huge at all.

Blah blah blah. The annoying thing about this, is drafting is a crapshoot. Y’all make it seem like Tatum, Rozier, Brown, and Smart are trash players. Y’all make it seem like that core never made it to the ECF...y’all make it seem like Other organizations don’t Wiff on draft picks... like it happens.

Kelly O was supposed to be like a dirk or P.Gasol it just didn’t pan out that ways.

Sully was huge as he dropped all the way to us. He was supposed to be like Al.. not our fault he didn’t turn to form.

And there is no way you’re going to convince me that Millsap was a better option than Hayward in 2014!!!!!!!!!!! Killl it man, Ainge made great moves that just didn’t pan out how they SHOULD have.

I feel like if we were the team who had AD,Bougie,and Rondo you would of still complained about something as if that’s not a roster everyone would of dreamed of having! It just for whatever reason didn’t workout 🤷🏽‍♂️

Can we go through a day without crying about Ainge's drafting mistakes?

Newsflash, other GM's also passed on the same people you're talking about.

Man, we really are spoiled as fans and all we do is complain.

Can't wait till someone brings up Giannis once again..

If you want to talk about what Danny missed ok then you can say Kawhi, PG, or any other budding superstar that was available via trade market. Forget the draft, that’s too unpredictable.

Here it is....

Man Danny is such a douch for passing up on a skinny 7 footer in the 2013 NBA draft and went for that slow footer 7 footer who thinks he is a poor man's Bird.

Hayward is better than Millsap and was at the time, but there is something to be said about roster construction, at the time of the Hayward signing Boston had Crowder, Tatum, Brown, and Smart on the team and didn't have a single big man other than Horford.  There is an argument that Millsap was a better fit.

I was all on-board with signing Hayward, and I'm glad we did.

But you raise a good point. Plus, those two had success together before
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)

PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)
