< Do you think maybe Raef needing surgery and Vin returning to the bottle and the coach quitting maybe has something to do with how bad the team has been? Those are all things that Ainge did not plan on but they happened anyways. > -Shizz
One, two, three strikes you're out. 1) Ainge knew Raef needed surgery at the time of the trade 2) Ainge should never have counted on the weak-willed Baker to essentially replace Walker as our PF 3) Ainge should not have been surprised by Obie's attitude having second-guessed/disputed his every move both privately and publicly.
Seems like the only thing Ainge should have planned on is the power of his personality to turn off players, coaches, the media, the fans, future coaches, future FA's.
