Danny Ainge

The Boston Celtics selected Jayson Tatum with the No. 3 overall pick on Thursday night, a decision they may have made out of pure respect for Tatum’s game and fit. Or because Josh Jackson blew them off. The Kansas stud, who ended up going at No. 4 to the Phoenix Suns, cancelled his workout with [...]

The Boston Celtics have champagne problems. After winning the NBA’s draft lottery on Tuesday night, via a Brooklyn Nets picks swap, they must decide who they’re going to select or for whom they’ll trade their spot. Danny Ainge indicated as much, per 98.5 The Sports Hub’s Brian Robb: [tweet https://twitter.com/CelticsHub/status/864650975973441536] Ainge also admitted the Celtics have [...]

Apparently, as it pertains to the Boston Celtics, there is such a thing as having too much talent. Though the team is considered to be in an enviable situation, with cap space, a deep roster and a top-three pick on the way, agents of certain NBA draft prospects aren’t as high on the asset stable [...]

When the Boston Celtics signed Al Horford to a four-year, $113 million contract over the summer, it was considered a no-brainer. Very rarely do you get a chance to add an All-Star in the NBA without coughing up significant assets. They were able to land while sacrificing only cap space (and perhaps Jared Sullinger’s return). [...]

Anyone waiting for the Boston Celtics to pull the trigger on a blockbuster trade better, well, keeping waiting. General manager Danny Ainge says the team is working the phones, but no deal is imminent, per A. Sherrod Blakely of CSN New England: [tweet https://twitter.com/SherrodbCSN/status/817011722254950400] This has pretty much been Ainge’s party line for the past [...]

The world’s injury bugs have not been kind to the Boston Celtics. Jae Crowder, Al Horford, Kelly Olynyk and Marcus Smart have all missed time, and now Isaiah Thomas seems slated to miss some time with a groin injury for which he needed an injection, per Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com: [tweet https://twitter.com/ESPNForsberg/status/806864451681058816?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet] Boston’s offense goes [...]

At 3-3, with the league’s best offense and its second-worst defense, the Boston Celtics are not who we thought they would be. We thought they would be a two-way powerhouse that challenges the Cleveland Cavaliers for Eastern Conference supremacy. But, as of now, they seem unsettlingly mediocre and overwhelmingly flawed on the defensive end—which doesn’t [...]

Already with one of the deepest rosters in the NBA, the Boston Celtics could be done wheeling and dealing this summer after signing Al Horford. But they aren’t. As team president Danny Ainge told reporters, per ESPN.com’s Chris Forsberg: “I think we’re not done,” Ainge said while clutching his iPhone in one hand, seemingly waiting [...]

Feel free to fire up the Kevin Love-to-the-Boston Celtics trade rumors again. Celtics president Danny Ainge apparently met with Love’s agent, according to RealGM’s Andrew Perna: [tweet https://twitter.com/Andrew_Perna/status/743488661304532992] [tweet https://twitter.com/Andrew_Perna/status/743489125060313089] Are we sure Ainge just wasn’t seeing if Harrison Barnes was interested in coming to Beantown? Okay, that was mean. There could be a totally [...]

The Boston Celtics are keeping the band together. The off-court band, that is. After tying for the third-best record in the Eastern Conference, the Celtics have announced extensions for team president Danny Ainge and head coach Brad Stevens. The announcement came via the team’s official website: The Boston Celtics announced Wednesday that they have extended [...]
