Message: [QUOTE="champs99and04, post: 2401502, member: 488"] I have the same sort of questions about what is currently going on in Boston, though it could be me simply trying to justify my (possibly wrong) opinion on their off-season. How much of this is Stevens and how much of it is Ainge? I think Ainge is a sharp guy and obviously deserves a ton of credit for hiring Stevens, pulling off the Brooklyn heist, etc. But it almost felt like he was in such a good spot that, because of Stevens, no matter what he did with all of those assets, it was going to work out. I don't know if guys like Tatum and Irving look as good as they do because of who they are as players or because the system vaults them to another level. Obviously they are talented in a way that Crowder, Bradley, etc. were not, but what happens if you swap Irving and Tatum for Bledsoe and T.J. Warren? My hunch is that Stevens still has them looking like a machine. [/QUOTE]
