Danny Ainge embraces boos, wants to make deals fans will cheer

WALTHAM, Mass. -- Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he genuinely felt bad when he found out that team co-owner Wyc Grousbeck was showered with boos while addressing fans gathered at the team's draft party at TD Garden on Thursday night following Boston's selection of Jaylen Brown with the third overall pick.

Ainge said if fans want to boo someone, they can boo him.

"I would have enjoyed it. It’s what I love about Boston," Ainge said with a smile Friday after introducing five of the team's six new faces at an introductory press conference at the Celtics' training facility.
