Danny Ainge

For all the problems the 2018-19 Celtics appeared to have, none of it would’ve mattered if the product on the floor was unaffected. But it all seemed to manifest into “too many mouths to feed” — something Danny Ainge recently spoke about in his appearance on NBC Sports Boston’s “The Michael Holley...

As much as Kyrie Irving appeared to be the primary problem throughout the Celtics’ disappointing 2018-19, there were instances where it seemed other players weren’t helping the situation. For example, there was the time where Jaylen Brown and Marcus Morris had an issue on the sideline in January:...

As much as Kyrie Irving often received the brunt of the blame in the public eye for the Celtics’ disappointing 2018-19 season, Danny Ainge, Brad Stevens and Marcus Smart have all expressed on separate occasions he alone did not ruin 2018-19. The matter of how the team handled Gordon Hayward has...

The one player from the 2018-19 Celtics roster who was always ready to defend Kyrie Irving — and not talk around the issue — was Marcus Smart. From the start of 2018-19, it was clear the two worked well together, especially once Smart was moved into the starting lineup to play alongside Irving. One...

Despite a reputation that he’s willing to trade just about anybody, Danny Ainge has always been reluctant to part ways with Jayson Tatum, and according to one NBA executive, the team’s valuation of their budding star was “insane.” SB Nation’s Keith P. Smith quoted an opposing executive as saying...

A recent report indicated the Celtics weren’t too pleased with Al Horford being tampered with prior to the NBA’s Free Agency Moratorium — even though the Celtics began their pursuit of Kemba Walker well before the official June 30 start date. Of course, with Horford ending up in Philadelphia, it...

At Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter’s introductory press conference, Danny Ainge said they were the Celtics ’ “ Plan A .” That makes sense for Walker, because Kyie Irving made it clear right from the start that he wanted out of Boston. But what about bringing in Enes Kanter and losing Al Horford? It...

One of the few players not under contract who stood out for the Celtics at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas was Javonte Green. The 6-foot-4 guard played at Radford University from 2011 to 2015 before heading overseas. In 2018, he got his first chance in the Summer League, playing for the Suns’ team...

The Celtics had a successful Summer League run, finishing 4-1, with help from three out of the four players the team took in the 2019 NBA Draft. And Danny Ainge already believes they'll all contribute next season. “I think that Grant Williams, I thought played very well this year in the Summer...

At Kemba Walker and Enes Kanter’s introductory press conference on Wednesday, the two new Celtics said a lot of the right things. Kanter trolled Kyrie Irving — which was hard to not laugh at — and Walker’s explanation about his approach as a leader — a topic that just won’t die — differed immensely...
