I really hope he gets the nickname " Never Nervous ".
Anyway - ESPN looks at the salary cap ramifications of this deal:
The Celtics will save roughly $675K towards the luxury tax and $450K in salary by sending Abdel Nader to Oklahoma City and by not outright waiving the former second-round pick. The Celtics now have 14 guaranteed contracts and a tax bill of $3.8 million if Rodney Purvis is waived. Nader currently has $450K guaranteed that will become full ($1.4M) if he is not waived by August 1. Nader has a July 15 guaranteed date for 2019-20 ($1.62M) and 2020-21 ($1.75M). The Thunder add extra depth on the bench and cash to offset the salary for Nader.

Oilers' Milan Lucic sounds off on DeMar DeRozan: 'Nobody feels bad for you; f— off'
Scroll down for the video - warning foul language.
One fellow athlete said he thinks it's a bit of sour grapes from DeRozan, and much ado about nothing.
Words flowing freely from Luc, like we haven't heard before. He also gives major props for his time in Boston.
Makes me miss Lucic - not that I want him back.

I remember when Mike Lynch said that he had collapsed on the 6 pm news and then Sean McDonough announcing he died in the middle of the Sox game.
I can’t believe it’s been 25 years.
Great interview, I'm so impressed with Looch's down to earth, realistic view. "You're making f***ing 30 million a year, how can you be insulted?" Someone brought him (Milan) up the right way. Kudo's to his parents. Great stuff!
I was 10 when he died. I turned 11 that fall.
Definitely not too young to remember this.
Next time don’t assume things.
I’m not as young as it may seem.

He's definitely said some dumb things, but I can't disagree with anything he said here. While he may lack tact, there's a whole lot of truth he spit out in that conversation. Guy is a lot more down to earth than I thought, quite honestly.
well Celtics preseason will be split between Charlotte and Cleveland home and home and the Charlotte away game will be played at UNC Chapel Hill
Rodney Purvis released after the trade for Abdel Nader from OKC;
"Ballhog" Anthony clears waivers; will join "cashpoor" Tillman Fertitta on 1 yr deal;
Nate McMillan has contract extended through 2021 by Indiana

Loved watching Nate MacMillan play in Seattle with Shawn Kemp, Gary Payton and Dana Barros.
He may not have had as much success as Doc Rivers or Steve Kerr but that generation of NBA players has produced a number of solid NBA coaches.
That Chapel Hill game is going to be one to watch simply because of the reception Kyrie Irving and Jayson Tatum are sure to receive if they play.
I just checked the Hornets roster and only Marvin Williams in a UNC alum.
I just checked and the Hornets hold training camp at UNC so it makes sense to hold a game there.

Okay, I went through this game-by-game, factoring in everything from travel between games, rest of opponent, back-to-backs, three-in-fours, and where in the season they'll be playing good teams and bad teams.
I have them at 79-3. 80-2 if they catch a few breaks.
Anything is Podable Episode Two: New owner, new era
It’s not very often that a marquee franchise like the Boston Celtics is sold, but in 2002, control of the green and white changed hands.
Episode Two of NBC Sports Boston’s “Anything is Podable” looks at the first several years of the Wyc Grousbeck era and how the new ownership group began to lay the building blocks of the next great Celtics team.
“Mortgaged the house to put down the deposit and started to figure out whom I could call to raise all this money,” said Grousbeck in an exclusive interview for the podcast series. “But as of that moment, I knew I was going to be the controlling owner of the Boston Celtics, or I was going to die trying. I mean, that was going to happen.”
While the Celtics’ transformation from pretender to contender took several years, Grousbeck and his team were committed to giving fans the team’s seventeenth championship.
“When you come into the Celtics, you can’t come into it for money, and we never did” added Grousbeck. “I named the company ‘Banner 17’ because I wanted to win the 17th banner and hopefully more.”
The podcast continues on to address the coaching transition from Jim O’Brien to Doc Rivers, as well as Danny Ainge’s first few seasons as General Manager and President of Basketball Operations.
“I’m not exaggerating if I say 10-15 different coaches and ex-coaches told me not to take the Boston job,” said Rivers. “Too much pressure, they’re going to be bad for a long time, not sure if you and Danny will work well together. I mean, I just got a lot of calls.”
