<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The fact Danny Ainge tabled conversation with the Celtics last May about a contract extension and has since spoken in noncommittal terms has opened the door to speculation. Ainge is signed on as director of basketball operations through the end of next season, but eyebrows were raised when he put off an offer from ownership for two additional years that would sync his deal with that of coach Doc Rivers. Ainge also talked around the key question when the matter was raised on occasion in the months since. But before leaving for Virginia to scout prospective draftees, Ainge finally made the most important declarative statement with regard to sticking out the building process with the Celts. ``Yes, I want to be here,'' he said. ``Of course I do. My job's not done here.'' </div> http://celtics.bostonherald.com/celtics/vi...475&format=text Very good news as far as I'm concerned, he's done a good job so far and I was worried he had plans of leaving after he turned down the extension. I think he's earned whatever it is that they pay him and I'd like to see him around for at least a few more years.
That is a good thing, he has done a good job this year and he can keep going. Its good that he doesnt want to flee to a winning team instead of helping the celtics. I also think if he says his job isnt done in Boston yet, he already has something in mind for the team future, and that is never a bad thing, if a coach has a vision.
Good news. Yeah Ainge has really turned Boston into one of the elite teams in the East. He must know what he is doing and what is in store for the future if he says "My job is not done." Congrats and good luck to Danny Ainge on what he can provide for the future.
Ainge has never struck me as the type to leave when a job is only half-done, so I always thought he was going to stick around. I'll be interested to see how he handles the Antoine deal this summer and if he can add anyone in free agency. He's done good work so far, but he still has a long way to go.
