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.

Rules of survival: When search-and-rescue turns into body recovery

How the Hell did this happen? Two days after 19-year-old Emily Sotelo was supposedly dropped off in Franconia Notch (NH) at roughly 5:00 AM ET, Sunday, November 20, 2022 by her mother, to hike several mountains alone, the search continues for the young lady. Photo by Linda Lane The information from news agencies indicated that Emily started hiking the trails while it was still dark. She was supposedly wearing only sneakers, a coat and workout pants. I can persona;ly attest that the weather in the area was very cold with high wind speeds, and gaining elevation on the trails would only add to the horrendous conditions. Ms. Sotelo was reportedly a seasoned hiker, but had little or no experience hiking in winter. At the peaks, temperatures on that Sunday dropped to zero degrees with a wind chill of minus-30 degrees. It is beyond my comprehension to imagine a hiker-of-experience tackling that kind of travel - in extreme weather - with only basic clothes and few (or no) supplies. I have hik

As a 16-year old , he quickly transitioned from: Minor thefts and breaking into homes To: Taunting and threatening a father and his two daughters as an unseen
