GM Danny Ainge: Welcome all, lets get started. We had a rough year last year, record wise and we won't make excuses. We fought until the bitter end to try and make the playoffs but we just couldn't close the deal and it was devastating to miss out on the postseason for the first time in our franchise's simleague history. We dug ourselves a hole when we couldn't recover from injuries, a hole we were close to getting out of.
But not all was grim, we were able to bring in six time 1st team All League SF, Grant Hill. Yes you heard that right Grant Hill has been the best SF in the game for 6 straight seasons. We were sad to see Eddie Jones go as a player, he did bring us a championship, but I won't lie as the GM of the team I was happy to see that contract leave. I'm gonna let Doc take over and introduce our 2 new draft picks. J.J. Reddick and Josh Boone.
Coach Doc Rivers: I am very excited to announce these 2 young men to our team. J.J. Reddick had one of the most prolific careers at a blue blood university. He is the all-time leading scoring at Duke University and set many other ACC 3pt and ft% records. We realize we haven't hit training camp yet, but when we saw he was available at our pick Danny and myself both thought he would be ready to start right away. His 3pt and ft shooting will bring even more balance to our dominant frontcourt and we have confidence he will use his elite skills as shooter at the next level.
Josh was a player we were targeting in the second round and when our options started flying off the board in the early 20s we decided to move up and take him. We plan on bring him along slowly. He will probably start out on the 3rd string potentially moving his way up to backing up Shaq, we like his inside game and rebounding and will be training him in other areas hoping to see improvement.
I'll leave it up to you guys for any questions.
