Danny Ainge continues to have interest in making a trade to cash in his excess of future draft picks.

The Boston Celtics are heavy with big men.

“We put ourselves in a position where we’re still in it and we’re still fighting for our lives,” Ainge said. “I’ve enjoyed watching our team play. With the exception of a few games, it’s impossible to go through an 82-game schedule without some stinkers. I like the energy the guys bring. I’m excited about these guys the second half of the year.”

Ainge was asked if the Celtics need additions.

“I think that it’s a challenge. This team is in some ways a real challenge to coach. For some guys, it’s a challenge in that we have a lot of depth. That’s good and bad in some ways. We’ve been fortunate that we haven’t had a lot of injuries, but do we need change? No. Can we get better? Sure.

“I guess that’s why I answer phone calls. But there’s not anything that I feel like I have to do.”

The Celtics will own as many as four first round picks in this year's draft.

“We have certain value on everything, on our players, on our draft picks, cap space,” Ainge said. “We value everything to a certain point. There’s certain things you won’t do unless you get the right assets in return.”
