Not sure if serious........

Why don't you bloody read what she wrote instead of just looking at the title? ****, you're a know all.

She wrote a fantastic book about Larry and Magic and has far greater insight into the Boston Celtics and in particular Larry Bird than any other journo.
Had the audio book, great stuff.

Shane Meade are you aware of the significant difference between an analyst and a journalist?
Wait of course you are, with your extensive knowledge.

Did I miss something? What's Noel done to be as bad as Dwight off the floor?
It all appears to be murmurs but there have been tweets and blogs about I've read that he's a pain in the arse even getting to an interview, his attitude isn't great when there and that his posse are a bunch of chronies leeching off him. Simmons and Ryen Russilo (I think) had a pod that mentioned it recently and basically said it was all being swept under the carpet but wouldn't go much further in elaborating. Not the first or the last to have all those issues but still red flags for a number 1 pick.

That and the fact he has no offensive game, is coming off an ACL and is a 213cm Center that weighs only 93kgs (!!!) is making teams question his worth.

I have also heard that PHX. It's not just the interviews, clubs have also tried tried having personal one on one interviews with him and he has cancelled 6 from what I heard. It apparently isn't him so to speak it is the people who are around him, nobody can get in contact with him personally.

My offseason has been made less boring.

There was another box set I was tempted to get that had complete history of Sixers, Lakers (Magic + Kobe & Shaq) Bulls, Knicks (Ewing) and Celtics (Bird) I think maybe detroit too... couldn't part with the $130 though... not yet anyway.

Lulz.

@ChrisMannixSI: Biggest hurdle between Doc Rivers and the Clippers is the contract, sources say. Donald Sterling has yet to sign off on the salary demands

Unprotected 1st (probably in the 20s, but still) is an alright deal for a coach we don't have to pay $7m/year anymore.

really unprecedented trading for a coach of sorts kinda isnt it?

also,the cavs have likely spoken to the Celtics and PPs availability.

The Cavs have likely spoken to the Celtics about small forward Paul Pierce’s availability. The latest rumor is the Cavs offering their two second-round picks for the 35-year-old Pierce. Pierce’s $15.3 million contract for next year would become guaranteed if he’s dealt.

Teams have been forced to hand over a pick to the team they stole a coach from. Twice, I think, but not in the NBA. Belichek in the NFL was one, unless someone wants to correct me.

Its been a great offseason so far, but I'm starting to get my hopes up that Noel can drop to OKC and thats not good for me.

@WojYahooNBA: Before Clips offered 1st round pick to Celtics on Sunday, Rivers had informed Boston he planned to return for '13-14 season, source tells Y!

Good job by Ainge calling the presser on Friday, Clips finally stumping up that 1st.

SVG and Pat Riley before, the Riley one was after accusations of tampering

Although, does this stop KG to Clippers?

The NBA seemed pretty adamant they would stop such a thing.

Yes it will stop it
