Three questions,

Where was Kevin Hart performing?

Where do the celtics play?

Where does Danny Ainge work?

A friend of mine snapped a picture with Tony Parker in Boston last night.  Apparently he was there for the Kevin Hart show, cause Hart is performing all weekend here.  Completely plausible that's why he was here.

I'm sure Tony Parker would not have attended if he was playing in the NBA Finals this year. That being said...he should really be working on his game after getting bounced by the Clippers  ;D ;D ;D

On other posts as well. I'm guessing some frustrated Cavs or Lakers fans. But I could be wrong.

Well, it'd certainly be a huge step in the right direction for us.  I know some have talked about moving Sullinger or Olynyk if we got him.  I personally wouldnt mind keeping one or both and putting them on the court with Aldridge.  Who we say is the center and who we say is the power forward is really irrelevant.  Unless a very talented shot blocker is available, we are best served in just putting the most talented big men possible out there.  There's no sense in getting some shot blocker who might save us a basket or two defensively, but cost us 4 or 5 buckets offensively.

Except whoever guards the other team's center down low is really the center. If I understand correctly, Aldridge does not want to play center, so as an UFA I'd think he'd pay attention to getting an assurance on that.

KG didn't either when he younger, and ended up playing lots of center as he got older.  It may be the best thing for Aldridge as he starts to slow down in his 30s.

Lebron has a player option so he could become a free agent.  However he is certainly going to opt in and then hit free agency next off season when the TV deal kicks in.

I think people got their hopes up so high last year with Kevin Love, and then had them dashed. This summer they don't want to entertain any ideas unless they are likely to happen.

I say why not dream big!

If Kevin Love taught us anything...

Well, last year, it was up to Saunders to deal with Danny. At the end, Cavs' offer was better.
This year, it's up to Aldridge to come at his own free will.
So spread the positive vibes and dream on. Something must happen this summer one way or another anyway.

Haa Ha ...LOl,

That reminds me of,the TV. Camera kept panning over a Magic Johnson  ......good many times during game number one ...... ::).  .......I was like give me a break ...please ....

Erving was just slobbering and drooling all,over himself ......trying to figure out HOW to convince LeDiva to come play for,the Lakers ........and KLove too

You know Magic wants the Warriors to win ......so he can help recruit James and Love to the Lakers .

It's just not right that LA doesn't have the the three best players on their team every year.

I don't think the Love situation has any correlation, he couldn't choose to come here on his own anyway. Thank God we didn't have give up the farm for him, I want them via FA. If I were these players and I wanted out, I would ALWAYS wait for UFA so the team I want to go to would actually have assets left for us to get better around me. Look at Melo, had he waited the Knicks would have the assets to be/get better, it's not like you have won anything by forcing an early exit. LMA is doing it right if he decides to leave.

I hope we do find a way to get him here, he has the type of personality I like and he's very good on top of that.
