While the Boston Celtics are setup to possibly make multiple blockbuster trades as they did in 2007 when they acquired both Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in a single postseason, Danny Ainge won't rush into a move and won't necessarily ever make one of their magnitude.

The Celtics were linked to a trade for Jimmy Butler at the draft and also reportedly had interest in Russell Westbrook.

“When you make mistakes is when you say you have to do something,” Ainge said. “There’s a lot of names out there that we’ve talked with about trying to acquire, but we wouldn’t pay the price. We’re prepared to build on what we have if that’s the best path.”

Boston has made two excellent smaller trades in acquiring Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder.

“We’re trying to find deals. And sometimes you have to make small deals in order to be able to have big deals,” Ainge said. “You have to put yourself in position with good young players and good contracts and future assets. It puts us in the game if there’s a player that becomes available in the trade market, but they have to like those young players and assets,” he continued. “In the meantime, we’re not sitting around and waiting for something like that to happen. We’re trying to make something like that happen, but we’re not just chasing every player out there.”
