For the record, I met Danny Ainge outside of a Wendy's once so if you guys have any questions about what we're going to do this offseason let me know.
 don't hold out on us... did he get a Frosty?

I think its cute you called it 'news' from RealGm, instead of made-up nonsense.

I think it's cute that you edited this to "possibly" made up rumor.  ;)

Well my initial edit was way more snarky, but WeMadeIt17 seems like a nice enough guy who just wants to pass along the rumors he finds entertaining (which you know we all would read, not matter what), so I went the way of the leaf here.

Thank you kind sir thats all it is!

This sounds fake, but I remember when I heard about KG for Big Al, it was at a cookout from an accountant I know who works with the C's.  It was a full 4 days before even a dribble of info came out so I sounded like a crazy person when I told Jeff the rumor.

So sometimes this DOES happen, but more often than not it would be someone with higher level professional  connections (not that I have those), not someone who surfs blog forums.

Plus anyone could make an educated guess at those details...

One thing that is starting to bug me is the people that bring up Ray's son to validate their stances that he will stay here.

Ray is a millionare, he will get the best care for his son no matter  where he lives.  
Ray did bring that up before concerning trades and all of that.

There is no way Danny Ainge and no-trade clause should be in the same sentence.

It would never happen in a million years for DA.

well there was a legit rumor earlier today that they were considering adding a trade kicker or no trade so thought maybe they finally decided to add it .

Finding new doctors you trust isn't just a matter of money. Its also stressful and takes up a lot of time and mental energy.

Ray sounds like he wants his family settled through this last contract.

Boston Herald ran an article that mentioned a trade kicker or a no trade clause as being on the table to sway Ray.

He was drinking a medium fountain drink. It was unclear if he had eaten inside before I saw him, and I don't think it's fair to speculate.

Also when I posted you hadn't provided a link to your source, so was having fun at the random quote you brought.

Perhaps more fake Twitter trolling?
