Danny Ainge: Celtics may have rushed Kemba back
Danny Ainge spoke to the media for the first time since Gordon Hayward left the Boston Celtics for the Charlotte Hornets. Ainge said the Celtics talked to 3-4 teams about sign-and-trades and tried to keep Hayward on a long-term deal before talks fell apart and the Hornets secured him on a $120 million deal. Boston is left with a trade exception worth $28 million, Jeff Teague and Tristan Thompson, who will start training camp slow with a hamstring injury.
