Is that a hint?
No, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ainge goes the long game with KAT.
Yes, I'd say the earliest he could conceivably be traded is summer 22', thats when he would have two years left on his deal. He is starting a FIVE YEAR EXTENSION this year. I can't recall a superstar being traded with more than 2 years left on their contract, it just doesn't happen. Those type of players are so valuable teams just try to make it work. Its easy to say there's no way on improving the roster but a lot can happen. They miss the playoffs next year then get lottery luck and flip a tp 4 pick for Beal, as an example. Wolves will push it as log as they can in hope of a miracle.
