7 first place votes, 7 second place votes and 7 third place votes. They finished second behind Monte McNair from Sacramento.
Justin Zanik/Danny Ainge Finish 2nd in 2022-23 Executive of the Year Voting
- Thread starter Elizah Huge
- Start date
Tim Connelly from Minnesota received one single vote for 3rd place. Our GM was the only person to vote for him in total.
I haven’t kept up that much but aside from getting Big Red from Atlanta, did they make many moves?
Signed Malik Monk and drafted Keegan Murray.
Koby Altman from Cleveland didn’t receive a single vote. That one is quite hilarious to me because the initial media and fan reaction at the time was they did extremely well in the Donovan Mitchell trade. Now fans are saying they want Altman fired if Donovan doesn’t re-sign or gets traded before he opts out lmao.

Well playoffs aren't part of the award. I agree that Ainge made more impressive moves, but CotY and EotY will always just go to the team that won the most games over expectations by default it feels

Can someone explain to me how this could have been anything other than a cold-blooded diss?
Great Kyle Anderson signing, good Conley trade, thought they drafted well (though it hasn't born the fruit yet), getting KAT to sign to a long term deal
Yeah the Gobert trade was bad, but I guess he did make a lot of other moves that were positive.
We still have no idea what the picks will be. We know that the Kings moves broke a huge playoff drought.
Drafting Murray probably won't age well

Yes we do. Ainge will build the greatest roster of all-time. It is written.
