Danny Ainge, General Manager and President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics, is considered to be one of the top executives in the business. He’s made thrifty trades (Kyrie Irving for Isaiah Thomas, the Brooklyn heist), drafted future All-Stars like Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, signed Gordon Hayward and maybe most importantly hired a coach in Brad Stevens who is committed to building a winning system for decades. Players like Al Horford, Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart work hard for Stevens, play defense and commit to winning for each other.
