Yesterday, Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Celtics were actively shopping Ray Allen.

Today, according to the Boston Herald, Danny Ainge scoffed at the trade rumors.

The general manager laughed at a couple of the rumors and was trying to understand how some that have been knocked down from both sides continue to get play.

Ainge repeatedly has put off questions about the coming offseason and how much change there could be in the C’s roster, but he was pointed with regard to the current campaign.

“Let me just put it this way: We’re doing everything we can to win a championship now,” Ainge said. “We’re not going to do anything that might hurt our chances of winning.”

The Herald also quoted an unnamed general manager as saying, “I’m pretty sure they’re going to be looking at a lot of things in the summer, but for now Danny doesn’t want to do anything that doesn’t make them better right away.”
