Ainge Angering Potential Trade Partners?

[BigKen]

Local media is reporting that Danny Ainge is pissing off potential trade partners. How you ask? He's demanding to talk to the key players involved in trade discussions about extending their contract before he'll go beyond initial discussions. OKC was supposedly ready to send Russell Westbrook to Boston, but Ainge wanted a guarantee from Westbrook that he'd sign an extension through 2019. Westbrook is a free agent in 2017 and Ainge is not going to give up a boatload of players and draft picks for a one and gone player, no matter how good he may be. According to CSNNE the same problem popped up when he started talking to the Clippers about Blake Griffin. Word this morning is that Ainge has basically told anyone who is interested in dealing, that he will not buy one year contracts at all. This could get interesting. Everyone wants to get something before Westbrook or Griffin walk and they get nothing, but the most sought after buyer isn't playing well with others
