Celtics Presser today @ 3:00pm

Ha ha--we know they weren't gonna give him #34!

Amir Johnson on why he picked No. 90: "every number 1-34 was basically retired."

#Celtics forward Amir Johnson will wear #90. He said his first choice was #5 but thinks C's have other plans for future of that number.

Not really. There's 9, 20, 26, 27, 28, 29 (which no-one seems to want for some reason), 30, and 31 -- none of these are retired, all of them are available for 2016.

No one wore #29 like Out-Of-Service Pervis...

RJ has #28. I know Danny has left it up in the air as to whether or not #20 will be retired, but it's possible that they're not letting anyone use it.

Forgive my ignorance, but who's RJ?

Lol Who's RJ

[D.o.s.]

He's one of our rookies who may or may not play a meaningful role in the rebuilding effort of the future.

As of now he's worth the yawn.

Danny Ainge @danielrainge
Congratulations to our Rookies TRoze, RJ and J Mickey. Bright futures

Danny Ainge @danielrainge
I will miss G Wallace. A pleasure to get to know him. I loved talking sports with him. With that voice he should be talking sports on TV!!

Danny Ainge @danielrainge
Great to have Jae C and Jonas back. Coaches and teammates favorites. DLee and Amir are two excellent vets! PJones is looking for new life

Yeah, saying he should be in the announcer's booth about sums it up.

rj hunter. i know, there are so many players coming and going right now i doubt ainge can keep track of who needs a uniform for the celtics.

Well, I don't think the rook has enough cred yet to be referred to by his initials. My first reaction was, "When did we get Richard Jefferson on the team?!"

[Beat LA]

Poor Jonas...

"We're glad to have Jonas back for a year...or maybe 2...we'll see."

Nice, Danny... 

"Or maybe we'll ship him out in 10 minutes...  You guys know me."

WHAT!? *facepalm* Not that I'm surprised, but still, what a tool.  Seriously, who would ever want to sign here as a free agent, particularly after this?  Danny be like, "is that ink dry yet?"

[Emmette Bryant]

I thought that 31 was retired (Cedric Maxwell)

[tarheelsxxiii]

That is pretty crappy. Did Jonas react in any way? Like, kick him under the table?

So what, you'd have had Danny refer to him as RH--to keep him humble?

 Does anyone know if there are any videos up yet from the press conference?
