He traded scraps for Ray Allen and scraps for Kevin Garnett and won a title. He then parlayed Pierce and Garnett into a lot of assets when he could have stayed the course. He accumulated the most impressive amount of assets. He also squandered that, but he did accumulate those. He built a few teams that had ECF runs and traded the #1 pick when it was a consensus Markelle Fultz and moved back down to 3 where he took Tatum. He was able to get Tatum and Brown from the New Jersey deals. If you say he had a lot to work with to get the haul from New Jersey, then I'd ask what we got in return for Al Jefferson, Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver, and others. He also managed to get a TPE for Hayward when we didn't. Granted, he was on the other end of that, but we boob about how Ainge is an ******* that nobody wants to work with yet Jordan still gave him a TPE... and DL was left entirely empty-handed.
