Danny Ainge has not always been this patient. His lack of patience can never be compared to the I-need-to-do-something-right-now rashness of former Celtics exec Rick Pitino, but he sometimes acted in haste. With a reference to Star Wars' Obi-wan, Danny has learned patience.
Yoda:
I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience.
Obi-Wan:
He will learn patience.
With the Marcus Smart free-agency saga dragging on, he needs it desperately. Celtics fans and writers just want this matter resolved. Beyond bringing back a vital key in last season's playoff run, there is the matter of the salary cap.
