With this free agency stuff. Everything is so overblown and the week of time between the start of free agency and when players can actually sign just makes it worse.

Maybe it's because everything has been a let down, I admit: I fed into the hype of this free agent class a little bit... But so far, all the major FA's just seem to be playing high school relationship games with their home teams.

Maybe it's the lack of the Celtics involvement. I want us to make a move, but we're so financially restricted. There's the glimmer of using Sheed's contract, but there hasn't been any concrete info on what type of deals we're trying to work for that.

I don't know, it's all been such a tease... Anyone else with me?

Yeah am with you on this one.

So far nothing major has happened, and all those ridiculous contracts are hurting our chances of getting a good player.


Hopefully DA can bag Lee and make the offseason happy for the C fans.

If you are bored it must just be because of your lack of interest and imagination.  Bored with the LeJames hype, sure.  Bored with the orgy of self absorbed multimillionaires wallowing in a sea of media frenzy and fawning executives 24/7, I get it.  But the machinations surrounding the replacement of most of our team using nothing more than Sheed's contract, the MLE, rookie and vet min contracts, and perhaps a sign&trade--that's critical, fascinating, and will directly determine whether you spend the next year watching a declining team fall farther and farther behind the leaders, or watch a blending of the old guard with increasingly important youth to make a stronger contender rather than a weaker one.  As for your "not being in the know," Danny's hands would be tied if his thoughts were laid out just to satisfy your desire to know.  For a GM to operate most effectively he keeps his left hand only partially informed about the secret desires of his right, much less the other GM's, very much less the general public.  If you hear "rumors" then agents or other GM's are talking, or Danny sees value in a "leak."

Sorry about that crack about lack of imagination.  I find this time fascinating and while I might be anxious, I am certainly not bored.  Nothing personal.
