Ainge's Son To Coach Maine Red Claws

"Austin Ainge, the son of Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge, was named the coach of the first-year Maine Red Claws of the NBA’s Development League today. The Red Claws are the D-League affiliate of the Celtics and Charlotte Bobcats. The 27-year-old Ainge, who was a scout for the Celtics, was introduced by Red Claws president and general manager Jon Jennings, a former assistant coach for the Celtics when the elder Ainge was a player (Boston Herald)."

Must be nice to have a dad that is the head of a professional basketball team. Hey Red Sox I am still available as a Scout/GM........just putting out there......

Walker Send Walker To NBDL

"The Celtics sent rookie forward Bill Walker to their NBA Development League affiliate, the Utah Flash, today. Walker is the team’s second assignment to the Flash this season, following the assignment of fellow rookie J.R. Giddens (Boston Globe)."

Good move for the Celtics, these guys need minutes to develop, and that's exactly what they will get from the NBDL. I expect a lot from these guys coming into next season, as long as Giddens keeps his head on straight, he could be a very dynamic player for the Celts. I look forward to seeing these guys next year, I just wish the NBDL games were on TV, because it would be great to see these guys play.
