What was the purpose of this press conference?

"Hey everybody, here are the guys we already told you we had agreed to deals with! They're really excited to be Celtics!  No, the deals aren't finalized. No, we can't give you detailed figures.  No, we haven't completed any sign-and-trades.  No, we still don't want to talk about Ray."

I still can't get sound to work for the press conference but is ^that^ the gist of it?

Why didn't they just wait until they actually make the moves to officially announce them? I mean, we all already knew about this stuff anyways.

Pretty much the gist of press conferences.

Danny didn't want to have 2 separate pressers with possibly the second one being a couple days from now so he got it over with.

They are essentially done deals so don't see the issue

Couldn't even get a minute of it. CSN says the minute is expired.

Can anyone help, who were the guys introduced other than Jet?

LIterally the most important take-away from the Press Conference was there was still stuff going on that they couldn't talk about that would be handled in the next week.

Its gotta be S&T stuff for Terry and I think it is just cap magic with Jeff Green.

"I am going to hold a press conference, make you all wait an hour, then tell you nothing you didn't already know.  I am doing this so we don't have to repeat this process later."

That was basically the press conference. 

That said, I thought the players all represented themselves very well.

Jeff Green and Chris Wilcox were talking like they would run through brick walls for this team. It didn't sound like "I appreciate what this team did" kind of loyalty, but more like "this team may have saved my life and I'm grateful to ever play this game again" kind of loyalty. Or maybe they're just very intense guys, especially after that sort of health scare.

I thought the same thing. These guys are ready to play their hearts out- pun intended. Can't wait to see them gallop with Rondo.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.

I understand about Terry but what do you mean about Green? Something like working out the numbers so we can fit someone else's salary were bringing in and he's back loaded later in his deal?

I hope he isn't signed and traded.

That's what I meant. The CBA is more complicated than the movie Inception, and with the right timing and numbers, it can be 'gamed'. I think that's what Danny is doing here.

Jeff Green is going to be a Celtic, I don't doubt that.

yeah in other words it most likely means well be bringing in another impact player (cough Lee, Mayo) because if we were just deciding on vet min or BAE guys there'd probably be no hold up. sounds good to me.

One of the owners was at the table, so I have no doubt something will get done.

I didn't get to catch but from replies and twitter updates that had to be the most awkward presser ever. Jeff and Terry couldn't talk to reporters so they stared at the empty hoop and gym LOL
