Forgive me! I swore I wouldn't use the poetry found in the title, but I have to do something. Danny Ainge certainly isn't. Where the Hell are these guys?
What is going on with the Celtics two recent lottery picks, Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith? Romeo's wrist has been repaired, and now he is out of action on COVID protocols. We have seen next-to-nothing of him since he was taken with the 14th pick in the 2019 NBA draft.
Ainge also grabbed Aaron Langford at number-14 in the 2020 draft, and he can also be listed as "missing in action" most of the time. His absence is more puzzling than that of Langford. Granted, Aaron has not exactly been a redo of Larry Bird "coming through that door", but he has had little opportunity to prove - or disprove - the choice of picking him at #14. Same with Romeo.
These two youngsters are certainly not being showcased for a potential trade, but that doesn't mean that is not Danny's plan. No one, including Brad Stevens, really knows what these two guys can do. But that doesn't mean that other teams have not inquired about them.
I suspect that I am also afflicted with ADHD, the same as Danny Ainge. Don't be fooled by his cool outward demeanor. He , like me, has had it with the under performing Celtics crew that constantly fritters away leads and finds it so hard to score the ball in critical fourth quarters.
Langford and Nesmith may not be on the open market, but be assured inquiries have been made via phone calls to-and-from Celtics boss, Danny Ainge. The clock it ticking, at least on potential trades.
