Utah Jazz: “We are thrilled for Austin Ainge as he embarks on his new journey with the Jazz. He’s clearly ready for this next step, and I know how much he’s looking forward to leading a team. He’s obviously very bright and has experienced success as a player, coach and executive at various levels of the game. On top of that, he leaves no stone unturned – he’s a strategic thinker that’s motivated and is an extremely hard worker. We will miss him in Boston, but could not be happier for Austin and his family.” —Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens.
