I will say this -- Ainge built a championship team, then saw his players age, and built a team that went to the Conference finals a few years later, and has amassed an amazing, AMAZING amount of assets.
And now everyone wants to knock him for a trade as if he's some clueless idiot. I think he's earned WAY more latitude than that. Time will tell, but I have no problem at all with this trade. Literally the only piece that cost the Celtics anythign they truly cared about is the Nets pick, and from what I'm hearing, it's far less certain that it's a top 3 or whatever pick.
