Danny Ainge will act according to his Title-window and that of the Jay Team

My recent Twitter poll indicates that Celtics followers heavily favor bringing in reinforcements, rather than keeping the status quo or a major shakeup, the two extremes of Danny Ainge's potential choices.

Our poll revealed an overwhelming desire for Danny Ainge to bring in reinforcements. No status quo. No shakeup. The present Celtics crew won't win a Title this season. But major trades aren't needed. The best answer usually resides in the middle-ground. https://t.co/VzMbagbg1D

It was only one game, but the Nets' 129-109 defeat of the Boston Celtics last night (minus Kevin Durant) is one indicator that there are a number of teams out there very-capable of eliminating The Green in the post-season. Rest assured that Ainge, prior to making any pre-deadline decisions, is looking closely at his remaining tenure in Boston and the potential Title window of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.

IMO a team with Durant, Harden and Irving, if healthy and with competent defensive role players, is too good. C’s should build around the two J’s with the hope/expectation that the Nets’ troika will succumb to old age or infighting. This is why C’s shouldn’t mortgage the future

Brown is 24 years old and Tatum is 23. Both rely heavily on speed and superior athleticism for success. With no crystal ball to consult, I will arbitrarily set the Championship window for the pair of stars at roughly 6-8 years. How about Danny's Boston-tenure window. He has been in Boston for 18 years, a rarity for current-day NBA execs. I will set his window at 2-4 years.

All indicators point towards a pre-deadline move to bring in some help to give the Celtics more hope in their Title quest for 2021, but also geared for the next few seasons. Danny Ainge knows his window, and that of the Jay Team, are currently wide open - but slowly closing. He will act accordingly.

In defense of Marcus Smart

Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S...
