Sporting News picks Ainge as NBA Executive of the Year

The Sporting News has named Danny Ainge the 2007-2008 NBA Executive of the Year.

The Sporting News polled general managers and other executives from all 30 teams, and Ainge received 18 of the 47 votes cast. He beat out Los Angeles Lakers general manager, Mitch Kupchak, who had 14 votes, and New Orleans Hornets general manager Jeff Bower who had 12.

"He orchestrated a stunning and record setting turnaround of a struggling team with two great trades and various other roster acquisitions," said Brian Colangelo, president and general manger of the Toronto Raptors and the 2005 Executive of the Year.
