DA wants the high value picks. Simple as that. Should’ve probably tried to sell off guys right after the Rudy/Don trades, but everybody got gun shy. I’m not sure that the players that got traded are worth nearly as much as fans believed they were. While I wouldn’t characterize them as negative assets, I don’t think you were getting 1st round picks without taking on bad salary. I do wish we would’ve gotten a better prospect out of the deal than the guys that are coming back. Naz Reid, Troy Brown and/or Max Christie makes this deal a whole lot more interesting to me.Horrible trade. 3 quality players. 1 prospect. 2 2nd rounders. For 1 PROTECTED pick. Wow. Fire Ainge now.

Wrong. We traded Bojan Bogdanovic, Mike Conley, Jarred Vanderbilt, Malik Beasley, Patrick Beverley and two second rounders for a protected first round pick, Kelly Olynyk, and the chance to pay THT $11M next year.Horrible trade. 3 quality players. 1 prospect. 2 2nd rounders. For 1 PROTECTED pick. Wow. Fire Ainge now.

It’s been widely reported Malik was really happy at Utah and wanted to stayWell, the good news is Beasley and Vanderbilt are probably happy their out of Utah and heading to the L.A.

I doubt Ainge cares about that.
