Celtics governor, managing partner and CEO Wyc Grousbeck talked with Sports Radio WEEI's Dale and Holley Show this afternoon. The conversation touched on a wide range of topics, including Grousbeck's reaction to watching the Los Angeles Lakers celebrate winning the NBA Finals on Sunday night.

Here are a few quick highlights from the interview:

• Kevin Garnett is excited about how his rehab is progressing, and as a result the organization is excited.

• Grousbeck was asked where he came down in the Phil Jackson vs. Red Auerbach question. Predictably, he came down on Auerbach's side. Grousbeck pointed out that Auerback was part of 16 NBA titles, not just the nine as a coach. Grousbeck also pointed out that times were different, and Auerbach did everything himself from driving the team, to setting up travel overseas, to coaching solo with no assistants, to signing players.

• As far as trade rumors, Grousbeck didn't shoot down the idea that there were talks going on, instead he said that discussions go on every day in the NBA and insisted that's the job of general managers. At the same time, Grousbeck said the Celtics got off to a record-setting start to this NBA season and it only make sense to want to keep that core together and add to it.

• In regard to a the forecast that the Celtics should have a slow draft night as they hold the 58th pick, Grousbeck cited general manager Danny Ainge's track record of draft day deals and added he expected Ainge to have several different possibilites/discussions going on leading up to the draft.

• Talking about the economic impact on the Celtics, Grousbeck pointed to sustained fan supports as the team has had 110 consecutive sellouts, the TV ratings have nearly tripled, new corporate sponsors have joined the organization, and the team was able to keep season ticket prices flat this past season.
