Thanks! I won't have a chance to listen, can you give updates please?

Should be worth something particularly to see how he addresses all the recent rumors. He won't say much, but it should have some entertainment value.

yeah if you are expecting actual nuggets of real information you are going to be disappointed.  but it is always fun to try and read between the lines.

Not likely. He was on Toucher & Rich this morning and said jack.

- Always looking to do something to make team better
- feels team is playing with great effort , # 2 defense in the league with no shot blocker
- Biggest area of need = closers, we need more scorers
- Depends on cost and risk for rent a player , wouldn't give up best assets for him . Not in position to take risks on rent a players
- Jae Crowder was critical part of Rondo trade, there is a lot of talent on NBA benches

[rondohondo]

- No assets are untouchable for the right player . Things we could move brk pick for , would have to be very good player , No players in their 30's , a young player .

[rondohondo]

So sounds like no Dwight unless it is for something less than the brk picks or best players ....

- Believes the c's can attract FA's and will

[Dino Pitino]

He doesn't think the Warriors are completely unbeatable.

I stand corrected -- just this piece is far more than he said this AM on T&R. Guess it depends on who is asking the questions...

The more I hear, the more I'm convinced we'll do nothing unless a no-brainer option falls in our lap.  Ainge wants that double-max cap space so he can go after Durant + Horford this summer. 

Sure, we'll maybe take someone like Gallinari if we give up nothing to get him, but it's best to maintain our flexibility for this Summer.

You say this every year.

But I agree the Cs are highly unlikely to take on significant salary unless it's for a really good player.
