Celtics GM Danny Ainge rules out the possibility of signing Jamal Crawford

Boston Celtics GM and president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said his team is not going to sign Jamal Crawford.

Crawford is still a free agent, yet Ainge made it clear the Celtics will not sign neither the veteran guard/forward nor any other free agent.

“It’s my impression that they’re rarely as good as people think they are. A lot of people, including myself and coaches and players, think that a player is still what he was two or three years prior or that he can return to a time of (when he was a) better player. But there’s always a reason why players are available,” Ainge said in an interview with Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald.

Boston is third in the Eastern Conference with a 42-19 record.
