BOSTON -- Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said it's his job to explore all trade possibilities when superstars become available but gushed about his current core and deemed the possibility of his team completing another summer blockbuster trade as unlikely.
The Celtics, armed with their treasure trove of young talent and future draft picks, have the necessary assets to put together maybe the best possible package for a player like San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard. And while Ainge stressed that he couldn't talk specifically about any free agents or players in trade rumors, he made clear Friday that it's simply his job to explore all possibilities involving elite-level talent.
