No he couldn't. He got lucky with one trade that completely changed everything. Olshey did that once with getting Chris Paul too under weird circumstances. Ainge traded two stars way past their prime, it's not the sane situation.
Reality is what you make it, I’m sure LA Rams fans are happy living in reality right now. Just because you root for a team that has made you believe signing free agents and trading star players isn’t the norm doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.
