Sounds like we’re talking about more than his deal-making all of the sudden.
I’m not an Ainge fan. I just bristle at the idea that he’s on an island as far as deal-making practices or philosophy is concerned. Mostly because the reporting doesn’t support that idea.
You replied to my post that listed out several different things Ainge had a bad rep for. It wasn't all of a sudden lol. There's a lot of things he has bad rep for, I do agree that being difficult to trade with is still somewhat speculation...but like I said, I don't think he got that reputation from being unlucky.
