Danny Ainge on finishing this season: "Adam Silver has some tough decisions. I'm holding out hope we're still going to play basketball this year. But that's just me being a fan."

Ainge on new salary cap projections: "We haven't gotten anything from the league. I'm focused on preparing for free agency, preparing for the draft, watching a lot of film. Controlling what I can control."

Ainge on staying in touch with the team: "We're doing Zoom calls. We're doing workouts with the coaches and strength coaches. We're having special guests. We're trying to do all we can. For the most part, I'm impressed with how much our guys are bought in and doing their work."

Ainge on special guests who have spoken to the Celtics: "Mark Wahlberg was fun. LL Cool J was great. Dr. Myron Rolle was very inspirational for our guys to listen to."

Ainge on preparing for the draft: "You still have to keep working and preparing as if the draft is happening on June 25, until we hear otherwise. We've been allowed to do calls with the seniors. Can't communicate with underclassmen until we have that list."

Ainge said he doesn't believe the NBA Draft will be held as scheduled on June 25.

Ainge on the draft process: "Let's use Rajon Rondo as an example. Had I not been able to meet with him and look into his eyes, I don't think I would have draft him. At the same time, we drafted Avery Bradley without any draft workouts. You don't always gets guys in."

Ainge on losing conference tournaments and NCAA tournament on evaluating young players: "I think we sometimes overvalue a single game."
