Danny Ainge said he made courtesy call to Dwight Howard's reps to see interest in coming to #celtics through s & t. Answer was no

LOL! I bet that was the quickest call Ainge made 

[manl_lui]

well at least he tried lol...did he pitch that we were pursing Josh Smith?

[WeMadeIt17]

Wonder if getting Josh Smith would change his mind.

Probably told him he'd be sharing court with Kelly Olynyk..that was probably his winning statement..lol

"Hey dwight would any amount of money or basketball success ever be able to get you to come to Boston?"

Dwight: "No"

"Hey dwight would any amount of money or basketball success ever be able to get you to come to Boston?"

Dwight: "No"

I don't think that's quite fair to say. It's not like we are in the best position to win now, which is clearly what he wants, and we don't even have the cap space to give him his pay day.

Danny: hey Dwight, wanna come play in Boston with a pg that passes. O and btw we're trying to get your buddy Josh Smith here as well

Dwight: No

And exactly what assets and cap space are you suggesting we would have used to acquire Dwight Howard and Josh Smith (while keeping Rondo) if both were interested?

Anything leftover to acquire LeBron James and Kevin Durant?

[tyrone biggums]

I'd rather have a GM try every avenue to make this team better instead of just laying down for a tank job.

[CelticG1]

Anyone who actually thinks they know what Dwight wants is crazy.

Thats where my joke came from.

I don't knownif he wants money, an acting career, rap career, dunk champion, mvp, nba champion etc..

The guys a weirdo

LOL! I bet that was the quickest call Ainge made 

all of two seconds:
"Hi This is Danny Ainge. We were wondering if..."

I for one am happy that we will not be getting Dwight Howard.  He is more concerned with his "brand" than in winning.  He is the wrong guy to hitch a $20M plus wagon to for 4 years.

I think he ends up in Houston and then Houston is going to make a serious run for Rondo.  Josh Smith doesn't make sense for Houston to me.  I think Rondo-Harden-Howard is more dangerous than Smith Harden Howard.  Plus Smith will probably cost more than Rondo.

I know DA says he won't trade Rondo but I think there is a deal that I could live with based on what Houston can offer (say Lin, Asik, Parsons?).

  You're thinking of the wrong player. Dwight would listen to the entire sales pitch, maybe even tape it so he could play again later.
