Ainge has now signed Zeller and all the rookies, which makes it more difficult to make a big deal. The Griffin/Westbrook rumor mill is running on fumes--at least for the time being.
Presti is probably busy trying to convince Westbrook to extend, and Doc is behaving like a virgin on the verge. I don't think he has the balls to trade Griffin. He's already getting some big market criticism for wanting to trade a star for perceived non-stars. Something the Knicks and Lakers used to excel at. Getting the star, that is.
Does Doc fear becoming another Kevin McHale? Accused by the media of helping out his old team with a one sided deal? The comparison is inevitable.
I wish Danny would abandon this "star" BS, and sign a MF rim protector who can block shots and rebound.
