Ainge: We’re still a contender

Danny Ainge met with the media today to talk a little about the upcoming draft and all the crazy trade rumors.  Joe Giza, a sports producer at WBZ TV in Boston, shared some of that in the form of this video via his Twitter page today

The Celtics shared some quotes from today via their own Twitter page:

On why they're more likely to keep the current squad intact:

"This opportunity is unique. We have an opportunity to win with this
team we have. We don't want to jeopardize that for the future."

On the Rondo speculation:

"I've
heard speculation we're dissatisfied with him; we're gonna trade him
because he was late for a playoff game? That's not true."

and

"I'm not sure why his is popping up, but we love Rajon. It doesn't seem
like you have to have any source any more (to report rumors)."

On KG's Progress:

"KG's coming along very well. He should be 100% by the time we start training camp. He just went home to L.A."

All in all… basic stuff.  Danny's dismissing the trade rumors like everyone else… but I think we all know that you don't have this many rumors floating around without them starting from somewhere.  I don't expect a major splash on draft day… but would anyone be REALLY shocked if Danny pulled a trick out of his sleeve?
