Long time to go to bump a thread, of course...but what the heck.
The Celtics, of course, were terrible for awhile, but are beginning to play well now. They won't win anything now - the big question is: Can Danny Ainge create a competitive team?
Here is an interesting article, from Forbes:
Best General Managers In Sports - Forbes.com, listing the 98 GM's in the major sports that have been around long enough to rate.

Once again, the Sox hopes for the future are tied to a bouncing ball in June. It is far more likely than not that we won't get the #1 pick, of course, so the anticipation will rise, only to be dashed when we pick #3 instead of #1, and end up with the next Antoine Walker.
