Danny Ainge continued to preach patience with Fab Melo, who is expected to be sent back to the D-League in the near future.

"Things just haven’t come naturally for him because he hasn’t done it," Ainge said. "Things don’t happen overnight. You have to be patient with Fab." He's not going to make an impact for the Celtics this season.

A league source told the Washington Post that the Celtics offered Fab Melo in a trade for Jordan Crawford.

However, the Wizards did not want to take back future salary. It's telling that the C's were willing to move Melo for Crawford after publicly committing to the 2012 first-round pick's long-term development, but he remains in Boston anyway. Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld said that Crawford did not fit into Washington's current or future plans.

According to NBA.com's David Aldridge, Fab Melo is not part of the Jordan Crawford trade.

The two sides are still working on exactly what the Celtics will give up to acquire some bench firepower in the form of Crawford. They probably don't want to part with Melo, who is extremely raw yet has tons of potential as a dominant shot-blocker.

The Wizards and Celtics are discussing a trade that would send Jordan Crawford to Boston for Fab Melo.

Crawford is on the outs with the Wizards right now and he threw his jersey into the crowd after Tuesday's DNP-CD. The Celtics could use another guard with the ACL tears of Rajon Rondo and Leandro Barbosa, so a move to Boston would help his value in deeper leagues. Melo would be a heck of a project for the Wizards with just four points in 15 minutes with Boston, but he does have a 14-block game to his credit in the D-League this season.

The Celtics have made Fab Melo available in trade talks as the team searches for guard help, sources told Yahoo! Sports.

Melo, who hasn't played more than 10 minutes total this season, was drafted just after Jared Sullinger in 2012. Per Yahoo! Sports, the Celtics are trying to "preserve control of future picks and its current rotation to fortify for this season." It doesn't sound like Danny Ainge is considering a blockbuster at the moment.
