Media Day Part II

Just wrapping things up from an unusually quiet time here at Media Day:

* Newly-acquired Gerald Wallace has finally arrived in Boston. He spoke to reporters today for the first time since being shipped over from the Brooklyn Nets back in June. Wallace said he was "caught off guard" by the trade, but he said he is happy to be in Boston. And this ought to give Wallace brownie points with Celtics fans: he said today he is a big Red Sox and Patriots fan.

* Rajon Rondo addressed the media today. Like Sullinger, Rondo is unsure of when he'll return.

"When I'm mentally ready, I'll play," Rondo said. "When I feel confident, and I don't think about it, just go out there and play. Even when my knee is going to get hit, or I have to go through a screen, when I don't think about that part of the game with my knee, I'll be ready to go."

When pressed on the issue, Rondo responded, "The 2013-2014 season. Sometime in the winter, maybe the fall. You never know." Oh Rajon.

* When asked about his new head coach, Rondo raved about him.

"Me and Brad have become best friends. We talk every day, we laugh and joke...I'm going to help him, he's going to help me."

* New head coach Brad Stevens has impressed many thus far, including president of basketball operations Danny Ainge. Ainge has been so impressed that he joked with the media that he would like to give him a four-year extension.

* When addressing the media, Stevens made one interesting point. He continuously told reporters that the team's focus this season will be on being versatile and playing "positionless basketball." Of the 18 players in camp, 9 of them are forwards, 6 are guards and 3 are centers. It's safe to say the Celtics have that option to be versatile.


More to come in a bit...
