Memories of the Boston Celtics Big Three Era
I’m not a big believer in “eras”; at least not as clearly demarcated periods in a franchise’s history. I’m even less fond of talk about “windows closing” on a team. Reality is a lot messier than that. Each season is unique; even for teams with little or no roster turnover. Rosters change. Individual players change. Roles change. Rotations change. The...
Grading Each Draft of the Danny Ainge Era
Danny Ainge has been around the game of basketball for a long, long time. He enjoyed a successful 14 year career in the Association and when he finally called it quits in 1995 he was able to call himself a two-time NBA champion and a one-time All-Star. Ainge's retirement was short-lived however as the former second round draft choice found himself back on an NBA sideline in 1996...

Ainge Making Decisions With One Hand Tied Behind His Back
or "We don't know where we're going, but we're making good time."
I am amazed not to have seen any discussion of the terrible
handicap under which Danny Ainge is working.
Ainge finds himself facing an off-season that proffers wildly disparate
outcomes ranging from adding one rookie to the fourteen players now under
contract, to turning over the majority...

Exploring the Celtics Trade Options for Paul Pierce
The ESPN Trade Machine is a fun way to waste a Wednesday night. Danny Ainge has a multi-tiered mission ahead of him this offseason as he looks to either retool a contender on its (last) (double last) triple last leg or cash in on the reduced yet still prominent value of Paul Pierce’s in flux contract. Let’s play some trade machine and see if there’s a mutually attractive...
