Tonight, the OKC Thunder were able to land Paul George in exchange for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. After the trade, angry Celtics fans took to Twitter to crush Danny Ainge for not letting go of one of his many assets to pick up PG.
Danny Ainge could have easily offered more for Paul George, but wasn’t willing to risk likely lottery pick(s) for a one-year rental.

DANNY AINGE TRADED THE NUMBER ONE PICK AND LET THE THUNDER TRADE ONE STARTER AND ONE ROTATION PLAYER FOR A TOP 15 PLAYER. GO HOME DUDE.

Pat Riley in his meeting with Hayward tomorrow:
"Gordon, firstly & before anything else, Danny Ainge is a pussy and will get you nowhere."

Meanwhile, Danny Ainge is sitting alone in an office somewhere in Boston, counting assets and pretending he's a genius.

Danny Ainge is the guy who sits on a straight flush and somehow walks away with a few big blinds. Unreal.

Danny Ainge was leaking YESTERDAY that Indy wanted 2 lottery picks and 2 starters. And some of his media cronies bought it. Unreal. https://t.co/UgIvhFvQk3
