POLL More overrated: Danny Ainge or Greg Popovich?

[HammerDown]

Popovich is nothing but a product of The Big Fundamental and Danny Ainge is a one-celled amoeba; literally the worst GM in American sports

Well, if we making this list, how could you leave Phil Jackson?

Name one thing he won without either Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant.

Previously I might have agreed on Pop, but the thing that really changed my mind was about 2-3 years ago, when he changed the Spurs offensive principles and philosophy. They were a grind it out team, that made a transition to more free-flowing offense, which resulted in another championship for him. He's shown that he's capable of adjusting to the league and isn't just a product of TD, Parker and Ginobili.

If it's between these two, Ainge in a landslide loss. I really don't know why he took Brown over Dunn. Even now trying to make moves with trades, Dunn would be a much superior trade chip.

on the players tribune site Robert Horry wrote an article saying Rudy was the best coach he ever played for and it wasnt that close- that phil especially wasnt all that- he just managed personalities...he siad he only had 1 conversation ever with Horry off the court...

Phil asked him why he threw a towell at Ainge...Horry said because he didnt like him and he was mad....and Phil said OK...and that was it.....lol....FOR THE WHOLE TIME they were on the Lakers together...

You win with talent.

If Ainge somehow does get Griffin or Westbrook with a year left on their contract and they leave he will be even more of an idiot. I mean you have 6 picks in this years' draft (Jaylen could be good) and you fail miserably.

i think that draft pick came down to the fact that its a lot harder to find a good SF than a good PG.....and you dont get an opportunity to draft that high often- so take the guy you like or you will regret it

i tend to agree with your thought on it CS but i understand why they took Brown....If the 2 prospects are comparable- i take the 6'7" guy that can guard multiple positions every time---- especially considering boston has like 4 point guards alrady.

Btw the mayonnaise based potato salad is overrated, the mustard based is fucking delicious so you have to be more specific dipshit

 

[broncosmitty]

Potato Salad is disgusting.

Like some of the trades Ainge pulled off. Still want to know who paid who what for the KG deal. Total bullshit.

Griffin has been more overrated than potato salad could even dream of.

The Celtics definitely drafted for need. I'm just really not a fan of that overall principle, unless it applies to Football. For basketball, especially a team picking high in the lottery, you have to just take the best player available and figure it out from there.

I can see why they did it like you said, I just don't agree much with it.

That is the correct answer. No coach will win without talent.

Doc Rivers trumps both.

Is it too soon for Kerr?...

Hey why not? Coach Cal would leave Kentucky in a second to coach the Warriors.

Well he's no Mike D'Antoni that's for sure.

Nope

10 FA acquisitions per year.

Id rather see Draymond coach them tbh. They'd be awesome.
