Danny Ainge looking to lure Kevin McHale to Celtics?
The Houston Rockets fired head coach Kevin McHale on Wednesday, and former BYU star Danny Ainge wants to give his ex-teammate a job.
According to a story by Boston.com's Henry McKenna Thursday morning, Ainge, the Boston Celtics president of basketball operations, said he reached out to McHale about joining the organization in some role.
“We’ve got a spot for him,” Ainge said. "I know we could figure something out for him in some capacity, but I think he’s just in a wait and see mode."
Ainge and McHale were teammates in Boston in the 1980s.
