Ainge: We'd love to have Barbosa next year

Feb. 14, 2013 - 10:40 AM ET

Danny Ainge said that the Celtics are interested in bringing back Leandro Barbosa next season.

Ainge could just be being nice because Barbosa will have to have a miraculous recovery to be ready for next season. Regardless, Barbosa will be an unrestricted free agent after the season and will have to prove to every team that his surgically-repaired knee is healthy.
