Thanks a ton for the heads up! Really appreciate it!

I'm sure there's going to be a whole lot of nothing said. I'm just hoping to get some more insight on what our plans are with the 2nd rounders. Consolidation trade to move up a bit? Draft and stash? What positions? That's what I want to know that I think might realistically be ascertainable from this presser.

Presser Just started.....EG loves Wall and Beal and hes gotten a lot of calls for trades however he feels good about the draft pick that could be there at 3.

Sounds like either we might try to get back into the late 1st or were possibly gonna stash a player in Europe and it seems that there not making 3 picks or someones going to the DLeague

Did you have to press play to get the video to start? I keep getting an error, something about an invalid ID.

Looks like Martell is still a priority to re-sign and that the pick they make in the 1st round won't affect Webster

I had the same problem. Just put your face right up to the monitor and say "ERNIE GRUNFELD" very loudly, and it should work.

This is infuriating knowing that it's going on and I can't watch or listen because the stupid media player they use at Monumental doesn't like my computer. djfslkfjsdljsfjdfj;dfjsdlfj FRUSTRATED

You didn't miss much. It's over. Yada, yada, yada...not one factor when looking at potential draft picks, have to look at the total package.
Question about Tomas---he danced around whether he'll be in summer league or not.
Beal making progress--not completely cleared yet

I think EG just wanted to be seen in front of a camera because that was worthless

It was a short one. Lots of EG speak. Main highlights --

Mike Lee (I believe) asked if they would trade into the first with #38 and #55 given that many teams reportedly want to move those picks. Ernie said he's doubtful those two picks could move up into the first, but they'd "explore it."

They plan to keep Martell and their plan to do so has no bearing on who they will pick (hi, Otto).

It was really just a pretense for him to try out the Bulgarian mustache wax he'd picked on that last scouting trip.

I always assumed EG was Italian - that's an Italian looking mustache - and face. But he was born in Romania and move to the US with his parents when he was 9. And he's Jewish. Who knew?

Yeah, that Q knocked him off of his canned responses. No surprise that Tomas remains stashed, Jan won't be needing a buddy on the team if we are successful in moving him.

Ernie is actually Latverian, having briefly interned with the Bureau of Oblique Disclosures And Contractual Largess under the second Victor Von Doom administration.
