This whole, Ainge knows something we don't know, to me, signals, he has a huge trade in the works and not a free agent signing. He can't talk to any free agents other than his own, so he would be pretty stupid to hint he has tampered in any way with a current free agent.
No, Danny wouldn't say that about a possible free agent. But, a trade that can't be done until after July 1st.... that he could hint about. I am hoping he is helping out OKC by taking Adams or Schroder off their hands for nothing.
