Boston media lionizes him to be sure. They have been lucky. Every title contender is lucky. Every champion is the luckiest. Celtics could easily be a 45 win team for the foreseeable future after all of the picks and trades over the years if Kyrie walks out.
Re: the draft, I'm not sure it's luck to say they have a pretty strong understanding of which players will fit into their system and culture. Impossible to know if Jackson is as poor with a competent team like Boston instead of the tire fire in PHX. Jaylen Brown was another raw wing.
Even if Kyrie does leave, they will still be competent because they do have such a strong organization. I'll take that over a team relying almost exclusively on luck to be competent, like the Pels have been for forever (until hopefully the Griffin signing)

Again, I am not arguing he is bad or that he is all luck. Just that there is nothing in his history that makes me think he is out thinking or manipulating or out negotiating other GMs. I think he makes fair trades when you consider the objectives of both teams.
It would be like saying the Warriors duped us in the Baron Davis trade because they got Baron Davis and we got Speedy Claxton. Sure, Davis is the superior player but the two franchises had two different objectives and each made the trade to accomplish their objective.
If the AD deal goes down with Celtics, I won't have one ounce of fear that Ainge will outsmart Griffin.
