Celtics to trade Jeff Green to Grizzlies

The league is all about imitation. Showtime offence, bad boys defense, big threes. Now everyone wants the Oklahoma blueprint by being really bad and get 2 superstars amidst other lottery picks. As soon as Durant leaves and creates doubt the teams will get on the next bandwagon.

Isaac, I think Ainge's original plan was to try and attract a FA to join Rondo. Hence the run at Kevin Love in the off-season. Once Cleveland got the #1 pick and LeBron came home, that plan was dead in the water though.

I think once Love fell through, Ainge decided that he wouldn't be able to build a contender around Rondo while he is at his peak.

So now he's switched to building through the draft and acquiring assets and will probably try to trade for a star, rather than sign one as a free agent.

I'm sad to see Rondo and Green go, but sentiment aside, I think Ainge has made the right decision for the team. Now if only Brad Stevens would do a better job of tanking to get a shot at Okafor...

Is it time for the league to step in and do more to prevent the blatant off-loading of quality players for tanking purposes?
