Asked and answered.


So after the 2nd season?
Good assessment:

I think that it's gotta be Hayward. Only because he'll be the 2nd ballhandler on the 1st Unit.
Other than that, then it would be Brown.

Only thing is, I just don't see Tatum as a Starting 4.
And, out of Brown/Hayward/Tatum, I think it's Brown that has to come off the Bench.

Optimist me: Waiting for that big trade to go through so it's a two-star presscon.
Realist me: Waiting for Kanter to sign so they can be introduced at the same time.

It is a two-star press conference. Vincent Poirier will be there too.

If he's still not signed and still no press conference, there has to be another move waiting to happen. I don't see what else could be holding things up.

What is the rush? He only officially signed like a week ago and the brass probably just left Vegas.

But yeah, could be another trade coming like when they were working on Kyrie; Hayward didn't get announced until that was complete and they have the press conference for both on September 1.

Across the league, only major acquisition that's had an intro conference so far is AD I think.

Also they have to announce Kanter/Kemba/Poirier together, right? Could just be waiting for a day where all three didn't have a prior commitment.
