Presti and Ainge and the Allen Trade

[asterix ninetynine]

Sabino:  How many years do you think Allen's window would have been?  You see, I don't think the window is any larger than three years for this team too.  But I also think that it would have been reasonable to assume that the Allen/Pierce/Jefferson combo would have gotten us into the playoffs, maybe even the second round.  Now, we're talking championship or bust. 
   
   I don't think the window is any different, just the view.

Sure, great guy, good leader, good clubhouse guy, but in the end, we'd have squandered the #5 pick and Delonte for a couple of years of first or second round playoffs (imo).

It's all moot now anyway. On draft night, I honestly didn't think Danny could pull off the subsequent moves he did. Well, bravo to Danny. He did it. He picked a path and went all in, and now we have a legit maybe 3 year window.>>
