>so 2 teams had assets the other one wanted? yeah, that's how
>trades work.
Ainge's asset happened to be a pick via ping pong bal .....it's called #LUCK or #Tanking......None of which require any sort of intelligence to accomplish.


>you mean his rookie season and a season he hasn't played in
>due to injury?
yeah, he didn't do shyt except lead a team to the lotto & gift the Lakers a chip in 2010. I'll take Kyle Lowry or Dragic over Rhonda....two piece that were determined by Morey to be dispensable.

>the star, yet only the celts have "gotten lucky" on one of

See the James Harden trade.

>and jefferson can't be called spare parts,
>especially in a league w/ barely any big men.
Big Al can't even carry prime KG's jock strap....it's like comparing Antwan Jamison to Bron. Prime KG was TWICE the player Big Al ever was going to end-up being.

> not to mention
>there were two picks in that group. it was up to the wolves
>what to do with those.
To anyone w/ half a brain those two pick were OBVIOUSLY not going to be anywhere in the teens let alone a lotto. If you're saying Big Al plus two LATE 1st rd picks were anywhere near a fair exchange for prime KG then bwhaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaa.
