I don’t think Danny is slipping but I do beleive Danny is not a very good GM. McHale kicked KG out the door and then directed him in our direction. So we got KG on the strength of McHale being a past Celtic, not the genious of Danny.

He trashes our young point guard in public, that has a contract comming up!

Doc won’t play young players

We don’t need Rashee…. what we need is McDycess and Grant Hill.

GREAT ARTICLE

I dont think Danny is slipping at all. We didn’t give posey a long contract bc we shouldn’t have. He’s already begun to slow down, and we didn’t necessarily need him. IF we had used the MLE last year, we couldnt use it this year and there would be no way of signing sheed. As for Pruitt, with young players, you have to take risks. Danny did not know how he would turn out, and he’s still young. I personally don’t think he’ll pan out, but the only thing this costs us is a spot on the (inactive) roster.

As for this year, why would you give marbury a bigger contract? He plays timidly and is not right for this team. I’ve always hated him and still do. Powe is likely not going to be signed by anyone else, or even looked at until he recovers. We have plenty of time with that.

How could we trade pruitt, walker, or giddens for ANY value? think about it, they haven’t proved a darn thing in their careers.

And what makes you think that we’ll let ray walk for nothing? and there still is a very good possibility that scal will be traded this year

He’s not slipping, its just things didn’t pan out or happened the way you envisioned it to be. People loved the idea of Moore coming here before, he just didn’t perform as people hoped for or what we would have liked. We all know peole had doubts as well when KG and Ray was reported to coming to Boston, and I’m sure you know what it resulted into.

If its gonna go with talent and for roster space, I’d rather have Giddens and Walker than have Pruitt in this team.

Actually had Wallace coming of the bench in my nbalive09 Boston roster a year ago. Didn’t expect for it to be a reality =D

Ainge is a good GM. He is not remotely close to the level that many on this blog want to elevate him – a great and flawless GM.
Your post points out the good moves he’s made, and his resume of mistakes, which is subsantial.
He’s off to a good start this year with Rasheed Wallace. Good move. Now, he needs to come up with a long wing who can shoot the basketball and hopefully defend, and probably a backup point.
Let’s see how it all works out.
