Boston Herald (Steve Bulpett) C's Make Big Move for Patrick O'Bryant, James Posey, Eddie House and P.J. Brown Next? What director of basketball operations Danny Ainge doesn’t believe are reports that the 7-footer was badly winded and thus had a poor showing in a recent session with the Celts. “I thought he had a fantastic workout with us,” said Ainge, who is still in the hunt...

Aside from the money he'll save by not taking the trip to Las Vegas for the summer league, what Celtics general manager Danny Ainge liked most about hosting the team's summer camp in Waltham was that he got a chance to see everyone from Glen Davis banging in the low post with free agent Randolph Morris to Gabe Pruitt running ...

Paul Pierce proved you can get stabbed early in life, then come back and win an NBA title, as long as you're commited to playing good defense. Maybe that crossed Danny Ainge's mind as he used the 30th pick in the NBA draft to pick J.R. Giddens of New Mexico. "He has a chance to fight for minutes right away because of his defense," says Doc Rivers. "When he had structure and organization...

Champs Select at #30, #60 After last season's 24-win campaign, the Celtics were expected to pick at the top of the draft and hope for a franchise savior. But after a Draft Lottery disappointment, which turned out to be the best thing that could happen to the team, Danny Ainge started wheeling and dealing and laid the foundation for Banner 17. Tonight in the 2008 NBA Draft (7 p.m., ESPN)...

Weird, right? There could be a QB controversy brewing (kidding!), the new offensive coordinator is installing the West Coast offense, and the Vols play in the SEC. Musings: - RB Arian Foster (148 ypg) is probably the second best back in the SEC after Georgia’s Moreno, yet gets no pub. - QB Jonathan Crompton takes over at QB for Danny Ainge’s nephew, and has three quality receivers returning,...

... playoff time, but for now Boston has to be considered the East favorite again. General manager Danny Ainge re-signed key reserves Eddie House and Tony Allen, and Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen should be even better with another year together (assuming they're not too worn out from last season's long playoff run). The bottom line is that the defending champs didn't make any...

... like Zach Randolph so it's not really a step up in the world. While I usually get annoyed by Danny Ainge's obviously BS optimism in most of his interviews, it's better than having a GM who inexplicably tells too much of the truth about his players. I'd rather be fed propaganda about Gerald Green than actually had Danny come out and tell me that Green had zero work ethic and...

COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Shortly before Danny Ainge found his niche as Larry Bird and Kevin McHale's running mate in Boston, he pursued a rare two-sport double and took a whirl at a Major League Baseball career. But his allergy to fastballs was too much to overcome, and he put away his spikes and glove after hitting .220 in 665 at-bats for the . Ainge's meager statistical line included...

I can’t say that I didn’t see this coming, but I thought that Danny Ainge had lured away Meghan from the New England Patriots, which would then clear the way for Quinn Kingston to join the squad a la Kevin Garnett. But oh no, the NBA executive of the year has a different trick up his [...]
