Ainge named Executive of the Year

Executive of the Year should have gone to Boston Celtics executive Kevin McHale. (Don't believe anybody who says he works for the Timberwolves.)

What a joke! He is the worst GM in the league, maybe sports. Minesota and Seattle basically gave him a championship team. He did nothing!!!

mitch should sent a thank you note to wallace. ofr coming in 2nd place. he stole gasol from memphis.

Ainge is the best! A true Celtic Legend! - BU

Correction...he transformed a 24 win team by getting all you said but Cassel and PJ Brown. He ruined a 66 team by getting Sam "I am selfish" Cassel and PJ "don't want to pull anything" Brown for the playoffs. Its not too late Michael Jordan can bring veteran presense of Allen and Pierce, and Patrick Ewing can spell Garnett and Perk...

How many votes did Chris Wallace get? hahah

Great. Now fire the coach.

Sorry, Boston haters, this was no contest.
Ainge received the honor this year, but his work in progress actually took about three years to transpire. He first assembled and drafted a team of plucky young potential superstars and expiring contracts that other teams would desire in a trade for unhappy veterans looking for a fresh start.
His moves were worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as some of Red Auerbach's classics, like drafting Bird as a junior or leaving the scouting visit of Cowens early as if there was nothing to see and then drafting him in Round 1.
Congrats, Danny, you earned and deserve it.

Congrats, Danny boy

Aigne drafted brilliantly, traded deftly and craftily saved his best moves for two blockbuster deals within weeks of each other.

Dont blame Ainge for the way that Doc has ruined the team during the playoffs... I assume everyone read Bill Simmons piece on ESPN today?

Danny deserves it. The team now is getting like when Bird, Parish, Johnson, McHale and Danny played
