Ainge shed some light on his motives for swapping the first pick with Philadelphia for No. 3 and a protected first-rounder down the road. With the recent deal between the 76ers and the Celtics, acoording to Jon Wolfond, Ainge said "the phones have been ringing" since.
They'll also be receiving a first rounder in either 2018 or 2019 contingent on a few protections. So much so that he cracked a joke at the expense of Celtics president Danny Ainge .

Ronaldo was reported to be unhappy with his treatment in the Spanish press and Real Madrid appeared to be at fault too for a lack of public support. He has also helped his team to win two La Liga titles after joining it on transfer from Manchester United for a ten record 80 million pounds in 2009.

The doubts, I think, are good, because the doubts give you the possibility to work with more intensity, with being more humble, and accepting that you need to keep working hard to improve things", Nadal said .
