Boston Celtics guard Terry Rozier certainly knows where he stands in the eyes of general manager Danny Ainge.
Speaking with Adam Kaufman of 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston on Saturday, Rozier dropped this priceless response when asked if he was ever worried about the possibility of being traded by the Celtics.
I asked Terry Rozier (@T_Rozzay3) if he was ever worried #Celtics would trade him this summer:
"Nah, Danny won't trade me," with a laugh.

The 23-year-old Rozier, who was the Celtics’ first-round pick in 2015, doesn’t exactly produce like an untouchable player — he averaged just 5.5 points and 1.8 assists in 17.8 minutes a game last season. But Ainge’s lofty and borderline irrational valuation of him (as evidenced by this notable example) has become something of a running gag in the basketball community. Thus, Rozier knows just as well as anybody that he’s pretty much safe as a sardine in Boston.
