Good news, potentially, for fans of the C’s and Kemba Walker.
I'm not much of a C's fan (or any other NBA team for that matter - no offense Steven43) but Kemba has always been extremely likable. Which for a guy who went to UCONN is saying a lot.
I wish him well. He's certainly in a better position for success than with the Hornets.
Keith Smith reports that Jahlil has two years guaranteed at the minimum.
I am not sure how many positive tests that I expected, but Shams reports 48 out of 546, which feels like a lot assuming that most players were taking at least some level of precautions.
It does feel like a lot, this ESPN article says it is a much larger percentage than in late June when players originally returned to their markets
The blurb does point out that the national testing positivity rate is much higher now than late June.While the league's positive test rate of 8.8% in its initial testing is lower than the national average of 10.2% over the same time frame, it also is significantly higher than the 5.3% rate (16 out of 302) during the same return-to-market period in late June before play at the bubble in Orlando, Florida.

Coach K on Kyle Singler - "What position does he play? ... He plays winner."
"Duke is never the underdog" - Quinn Cook
I really hope the Rockets don't give in to Harden's trade demand...I was looking forward to pulling for the Nets this year.
Quinn Cook re-signs with the Lakers. I can remember many people writing him off when Tyus Jones committed. He has an NCAA ring, 2 NBA rings and a whole lot of money. Congrats.
Yeah, he had $1 mil partial guarantee that the Lakers paid him when they waived him. His new deal is believed to be for 1 year at the vet minimum, which would be about $1.7 mil for a player like Cook. So, he will earn approx. $2.7 mil this season.

The Celtics currently have 14 players under guarantee contract and a 15th, Javonte Green, signed to a non-guaranteed contract. The NBA limit is 15. They also have Taco Fall and Tremont Waters on 2-way deals in the G-League. I strongly suspect they will keep Fall (a fan favorite and an intriguing prospect) and Waters (who was the G-League Rookie of the Year last year). This means that Amile's signing is a way of giving him some extra money (and extra incentive) to be on the Celtics G-League team in case the Celtics suffer some injuries and need to call someone up. Alternately, if the Celtics decide to elevate Fall or Waters to the team and open up a second 2-way spot, Amile could have a shot at that (depending on what the team wants to do with Javonte Green, who did play in 40+ games for the team last year).
-Jason "bottom line, I don't see this signing as an indication that Amile is likely to make the Celtics roster this year" Evans
