Money turned Kyle Lowry and the ghost of tmac into Harden. He traded Kyle to the Raptors for the pick that was eventually traded to the Thunder and Kevin Martin who he got in a three team trade with the Kings for Broken down Mac.I can go step farther and say he traded Rafer tear drop Alston for Kyle that got us Harden s so essentially he Probably got Harden for Alston and a washed up Tmac! To think this team was perpearing to tank that year before his asset collecting tactic finally paid huge dividends and I mean huge dividends. Probably got us the best player in the NBA right now
Crazy to think what goes on in the wizards head. Him learning under Danny Ainge was huge in Boston. You can see the similarities. Ainge is the only guy I would say has maybe done a better job at the asset collecting. Morey just got the best player in the league but that was a whole lot of luck. But he’s built a historic team. Boston is just crazy tho with all the picks they still have and the two young studs in brown and taytum surrounding kyrie Gordon and horford. Boston gonna be scary good in a year or 2. I still don’t know how Ainge still has all these picks coming to him from the lakers and Memphis. Those picks are going to be top 10 at worst maybe top5. Him and Morey are the best and no one else is close. Presti is overrated but he does flip guys into new guys so I do like that aspect about him he seems to always be able to put new decent players on his team.
It was not easy during those mediocre treadmill days. We were literally hovering around 0.50 without many talents.
