This is what the Pelicans and other small market teams are up against. The next CBA surely will address this in some way, otherwise the inmates will continue to run the asylum.

NBA doesn't care about parity. The Supermax still existing is proof of that. It's just easier and more cap friendly to buy a super team. I'll believe it When the NBA start creating actual competitive salary cap incentives for resigning players.
But why... NBA has been built on the back of dynasty not farm market fans. Just the ugly truth
Celtics make it official: Danny Ainge retires, Brad Stevens is President of Basketball Operations

I’m watching this on mute in dentist waiting room. Stephen A Smith just left the set. Are they that upset about Garnett possibly becoming a head coach?

My view on it is pretty simple.
Hard to evaluate some of his recent tenure: last year was weird and cut short, and this year the Celtics had tons and tons of injuries all year. Tatum had COVID mid-season, Brown didn't even make it to the playoffs, Kemba missed tons of time, Smart missed time, etc.
But there are a few trends in his career as an NBA head coach which shine through regardless of any specific roster alignment, and a lot of those issues are regarding player trust and usage of the roster: to elevate that guy to a position where he will be making direct decisions regarding roster construction may end up exacerbating those issues and end up being a mistake. That said, Ainge has spent the last decade in one of the richest positions in the NBA and hasn't really made anything definitive happen with it, so I can see why they would want to move on from him.
Basketball.
Wyc Grousbeck notes that Brad Stevens has been side by side with Danny Ainge in making roster-building decisions.

lmao
Not exactly the best thing you want to hear.
Smart will be on an expiring next year. So if it doesn't work you still walk away with a 1st (most likely with protections).
But instead of Kemba, I'd 100% much rather just try to draft Davion Mitchell. Same iso skills as Kemba, but bigger, stronger, and much better on/off ball defense.

Sell the farm for Jaylen Brown please and thank you
Kemba Walker way overrated. Just look at his awful stats in playoffs. Kemba = Bledsoe 2.0
Griff during his end of season presser:
"We've got to do better from a strength and conditioning standpoint."
"Because we weren't able to really address those things in a way that made sense for young players, we weren't able to grow in the way that we needed to and I think that was very evident."
