getting my day started in boston first up meeting the staff, then the media and the team doc to do my physical

I'm not sure if that means an actual press conference, but if anyone hears a press conference (on the radio or whatever), please give us the bullet points - thanks!

Do you know if NBA.com is going to stream it like the Wallace press conference? Or if anyone is going to stream it for that matter...

Thanks for the info, Jeff. I really wasn't sure it would get done, but 2 years at short money is nice. Our big men are in really good shape. I still worry about our perimeter, but if our offseason consists of replacing Mikki and Leon Powe with Sheed and Shelden, and Marbury and Pruitt with Daniels and Hudson or another veteran, I'll be pretty pleased. Still want a bigger defensive minded 3 but hopefully Walker and/or Giddens can make some strides. And we still have $5.9 mil in expirings with Scal and TA if we need to make another deal.

Danny's gamble with BBD has paid off and I'm glad to have him back in the fold.  Admiral Ackbar will be a good upgrade too.  He has the intelligence and skill to push the other bigs in practice and give us spot minutes in games when needed.  I agree with everyone that says if we can get a serviceable backup PG and bring in Marquis while shipping out TA, we are golden for a #18 run.

I agree with everything you said, TP.  You had me at "Admiral Ackbar."

A much better nickname than "The Landlord", if you ask me.

In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.
