Gary Tanguay: Celtics have to “blow it up, and I think [Danny Ainge] knew that”

Long-time Boston Celtics GM Danny Ainge just recently accepted a job with the Utah Jazz. His official title will be Alternate Governor and CEO of the team. The move comes only a few months after he supposedly retired following nearly 20 years in Boston’s front office.

Most fans were shocked by how sudden it was, but in retrospect, it makes a ton of sense. The 62-year-old was working wild hours with the C’s, and his job certainly wasn’t an easy one, but a lot of long-time media members weren’t all that stunned.
