Danny Ainge: Nothing I’m actively doing
“It’s almost like Mitt Romney answering the question about how much taxes he pays,” Ainge explained in his weekly interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI. “He says 15 percent in capital gains. And it becomes a huge story when he’s only stating the obvious. Some people don’t know the obvious. …
“That’s how I feel with this. It’s obvious. They’re obvious things. Of course if we get the opportunity to make a trade that will help our team, we’ll do it.” …
“I sat with Red (Auerbach) during a Christmas party (in the 1990s),” Ainge said. “Red was talking to Larry, Kevin, and myself and there was a lot of trade discussion at the time, and Red actually shared some of the trade discussions. And I told Red, what are you doing? Why are you waiting?
“He had a chance to trade Larry (to Indiana) for Chuck Person and Herb Williams and (Steve) Stipanovich and he had a chance to trade Kevin (to Dallas) for Detlef Schrempf and Sam Perkins. I was like, ‘Are you kidding?’ I mean, I feel that way now. If I were presented with those kind of deals for our aging veterans, it’s a done deal to continue the success.” …
“Kevin was done as a good player at that time,” Ainge told WEEI. “And Larry had both his feet in casts with Achilles tendon tears, and back problems. We’re not talking about Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, we’re talking about the remnants of Larry Bird and Kevin McHale.” …
“I think that all of them (Garnett, Pierce and Allen) have basketball left in them, without question,” Ainge said. “Unlikely Larry, who had the double Achilles tendon surgery, and Kevin, who had screws in his feet, these guys have been fairly injury free. Haven’t had major reconstructive surgery on their bodies.” …
“We’ve all known that there’s a window for this group,” Ainge said. “We’re constantly evaluating that. But I don’t have anything on the books. I don’t have anything imminent. There’s nothing out there that I am actively doing.
“I’m being patient with this group of guys. They believe they’re much better than they’re playing right now. Doc believes they’re much better than they’re playing right now. I believe that too.”

Danny has the most important quality pols need to have. He has it in spades. He is a big time liar. Ask him if he puts one or two sugars in his coffee and he’ll find some way to lie about it.

Sorry, would have posted earlier, but I was helping DA perfect his “lying” so that conspiracy theorists, like paul, can rant about his comments, moves, non-moves, breathing, and how many sugar cubes he uses in his coffee. Go CS…
