Danny Ainge Scores Big, McHale Makes Assist
2007-08-01 02:16:00 If you've been reading this blog, you know about the deal that transpired between last night and early this morning. Rick Pitino was wrong, and Kevin McHale did walk through that door and along with him came Kevin Garnett. The Boston Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Sebastian Telfair, Ryan Gomes, the expiring contract of Theo Ratliff, and two first round picks, one of which came to Boston in the Ricky Davis deal that occurred in January 2006. As far as the trade goes, in my mind it's a great deal because the Celtics rosters consists of three players who share 22 NBA All-Star appearances between them. The big ticket for Minnesota was obviously 22-year-old power forward Al Jefferson who had a break out season last year, averaging a double-double. In the words of Jan Volk, "Jefferson is a very good player and might be a terrific player one day, but Kevin Garnett is a great player right now." I couldn't have said it b...

What Does Danny Ainge Have To Do To Get Fired?
2007-06-29 06:02:00 Seriously, this is becoming quite absurd. After all the abysmal decisions Danny Ainge has already made in his now notorious tenure as GM of the Celtics, his actions from last evening baffle me even more than his questionable actions from the past. Boston sends Delonte West, Wally Szczerbiak, and the #5 pick to Seattle. Boston receives Ray Allen and the #35 pick from Seattle. The biggest problem I have with Ainge and the Celtics is their failure to commit to a team philosophy. Do you want to win now or rebuild? You can't have it both ways, Daniel. It seemed like Ainge had answered the latter to that question beginning in 2004 by drafting Al Jefferson followed a year later by selecting high schooler Gerald Green. This was again emphasized just a year ago when they thought they had traded for a franchise PG in Sebastian Telfair (sure that ended up being an awful move but at least Ainge was committed to the re-building concept, rather than trading the pick for a veteran). A s...
