Brad Stevens wouldn’t have been able to make the moves he has without Danny Ainge. With that being said I don’t think Ainge makes the moves that Stevens has these past 2-3 years. Both played huge roles and honestly Ainge deserves to be sent a ring if this team raises a banner!!
I do reject the notion that the Celtics arent a place guys want to play, Porzingis specifically picked up his option to get traded here, Jrue Holiday had them on a list of teams he wanted to be traded to once Portland got him in the Lillard deal, Horford signed here, and wanted to come back, Kemba signed here.... they just lost out on KD because he took the easy way out in signing with the Warriors
@@connorrussell2084 yup.. those are neither stars or superstars.. they are mid tier ... When I say mid level I don't mean the contract exception... .. besides even if one or 2 superstars want to come here..that would be the exception and not the rule
They both deserve it. If not for Danny we would never have gotten Tatum we would have taken Markell faultz. Just like any other manager would have, but Danny knew Tatum was the best one. Thankfully. Brad brought in Holiday and Porzingis to put on the finishing touches.
If that trade was apart of this season then maybe the players who were traded during this season could be still considered a part of the team and get a ring. If they did for smart they would have to do that for Brogdon, Grant Williams, Rob Williams, Banton.
The one thing that Ainge has over Brad was his evaluation of talent and its fit into system. His talent got Brad the players he has. Brad had problems with playing youth. What GM does the Tatum deal. Would Brad make that move. No way. That was move that put everything in play. Would Brad draft Brown. Doubt it. Ainge's ability to look at talent and mold it to a team concept was above reproach. Brad wants tested talent, look at how he coached.
Its both. Each played huge unique roles. Ainge made gangster business moves (such as trading down to take tatum at 3) while brad stevens made gangster basketball moves (his roster retooling was beyond masterful).
Why doesn’t anyone at the desk correct Zo every time he thinks the Celtics were Down by 9 when Pritchard hit the 3 pointer. It leads me to believe that Zolak didn’t watch the game at all when he keeps making that point,always the same basic obvious points if it’s not football related as well. Luka does not physically resemble any ymca player I’ve seen Zo,more like a cutthroat nhl left winger id say.
They can replace that bag of trash, beetle, with a bag of sand and the show would be INSTANTLY better! Guy has to be next to Felger and Curren the most pompous guy in the Boston Sports media. Does he not have a mirror at home?

Trader Danny laid the foundation, and Brad came in and put the roof on it!
Well said
They both deserve credit lol
Both Ainge and Steven’s deserve equal credit.

Any Mid level or less player would play for the Celtics or any team for that matter.. but as far as the Superstars go ..they don't want to come here
@@jzajzz famously mid level/lesser players I just listed
Trades aren't the same

Danny Ange!!! drafting Brown, Tatum is the Key!
Yeah ainge would have sat on this picks these years
I agree. Gotta tip your hat.

Brad is my hero
They are the architects.
Stevens wouldn’t even be here if Danny didn’t hire him
He built the foundation
Ainge deserves more credit in drafting. Stevens deserves more credit in trading. I say they’re Even Steven!
Danny tried to trade Kemba and a first for Jrue before Milwaukee got him
Danny Ainge deserves a Ring.
Danny Ainge had all those picks for trade value
