Allen on Ainge
Ray Allen’s journey to Boston is one of the big reasons why Celtics GM Danny Ainge was named the NBA’s Executive of the Year today. Allen vividly recalled one incident in Ainge’s courtship.
“[Ainge] sent me a text message, and the text message said, ‘We’re going to get the best of every opponent, every night,’” said Allen. “And I just always kept that text message. Because what he did off the court with this team, it made a lot of players and a lot of teams in the NBA aware that we were serious.”
