    Plums looks annoyed. I'm guessing media was under strict instructions not to ask about free agency, because no one even hinted at the topic

    He was really hoping to play on the East Coast. Badly...

    I think technically he's not on the team. They just have his rights

    He's a 2nd rounder, he needs to earn his contract first.

    Specifically Boston, his hometown. I'm sure RipCity will be a pleasant surprise for him though.

    I thought that the media lacked anyone with a decent question except for Jabari..there was not a lot of juice coming from our press guys and if anything annoyed Mason Plumlee....it was our fucking audio tech who is always screwing up audio feeds and mike volumes..even a feedback squelch when Plumlee was trying to talk.

    Olshey explained that Connaughton will be flying in for summer league camp July 5th-6th and he'll be available to the media then. Mentioned something about not wanting to fly him back and forth or something

    Olshey said Connaughton would have a Media Day around July 5. Said he has traveled a lot due to tryouts and combines and they wanted to give him a break.

    So annoying. When is @SlyPokerDog going to get RipCityTwo some credentials?

    So does this mean that all three are now "untouchable" by fans?

    Even olshey looked like he would rather be somewhere else. Probably already on tomorrow night mentally.

    KS will answer that question after the first homegame..he kind of likes Mason Plumlee from what I've heard around here

    Had an odd vibe to the press conference. They probably don't know what to think about our team with the franchise player being rumored to already have decided to leave. I'll be more interested in their reactions after the roster is set and they've practice with some of the guys for a couple weeks.

    I noticed Plumlee singled out Dame as the guy he's excited to play with. I thought the power forward question was kind of dumb for the first answer Plumlee had to give...the media knows he's a center. It was like asking if he'd play Lamarcus' spot on the team.

    I might just start calling Plumlee Blackjack since he's chosen 21 as his number

    I thought it was Miles that he was crushing on?
