... that the team is in the process of signing Pruitt and Davis, but after that they are done. Asked if there were any other moves to be made, Danny Ainge shook his head and said, Probably not. The director of basketball operations then laughed and added, Don t you think we ve done enough for one summer? I know that ' s a rhetorical question, but my short answer is no.
