2265477, I have BEEN saying this since before they got the big three

Dude has balls, he knew before the decision that starpower was the way to go. You can pay for stars or pay for depth. The stars will bring the depth at a discount. He also knew that cap space was overrated, players who hit the open market hit it for a reason. They have some level of defect and you have to pay premium price, more than they earned in their prime.

From the time he was angling to get the AIs and Boozers of the world, I knew Ainge had the right idea.

Big three, I mean, that was obviously a steal but I have to give him credit for it coming together in the very first year and almost again in the second. Both difficult things to accomplish under any circumstances with any players.

The Nyets deal, just go back and look at the posts. I said it was a STONE COLD HOSING then and it's turned out to be even more than that.
