Despite a collection of assets that are all performing above expectations, Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge's philosophy has been clear since even before last summer's NBA draft.
"There’s no such thing as untouchables," Ainge said, per ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "But there’s guys that we really love and are part of our core that we don’t want to move."
Since the Celtics have an abundance of lucrative draft picks on top of some intriguing talent, it's only natural for the team to be connected to any rumblings surrounding superstars. If one suddenly becomes available, anything goes.
