<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">10) Danny Ainge Ainge has a love/hate relationship with the Celtics? fan base. One day he?ll trade Antoine Walker for the long-term contract of Raef Lafrentz and the next he?ll draft Al Jefferson, Gerald Green and a slew of other draft picks with seemingly limitless potential. When the Celtics win or the rookies perform well, he?s considered a genius, but when the rookies don?t get minutes or he trades for Wally Szczerbiak?s long-term inflated contract, he?s considered a burden. Currently, the Celtics team is a strange entity consisting of veteran superstar Paul Pierce, the recently acquired Wally Szczerbiak and a young core featuring Al Jefferson, Gerald Green, Kendrick Perkins, Tony Allen and Delonte West. Two seasons from now, it will be seen if Ainge can either make a serious mark on this Celtics squad or if he?ll be standing in the unemployment line.</div> http://realgm.com/src_feature/426/20060127...the_game_today/
Joe Dumars should have been #1. How can you give the Spurs' GM credit for signing a bunch of veterans that were free agents anyway? They realized that they weren't going to get a lot of money, so they took a pay cut and signed with the defending champs for a chance to get a ring. How does that make him the #1 GM? Tony Parker and Many have been with the team for a while, you can't say that those moves make him a great GM. Rod Thorn is waaaay to high! Not re-signing Kmart is not something that he should get credit for, that was stupid. It ruined team chemisty and upset Jason Kidd.
