To make an extreme example, if someone knew Willis Reed was going to come back in that famous game, they could have made a killing in Vegas. Aside from that, I wish teams would never comment on injuries. As for the "staple," I'll just say that it's an inexact word that Simmons used and I parroted for consistency. I honestly didn't think it was that big a deal initially, but it's led to more questions than it answered.

If fans require transparency, then they shouldn't buy a ticket or merch until the team does so. if the team is taking tax dollars, it's a little different but supply and demand should make that call.

If KG underwhelms, someone is bound to ask. There is simply too much fan dollar at stake to stay silent. My guess is that the media will bite their tongues for a while.

How hard should the media push the issue? Resources are tight at news vendors and this isn't the Pentagon Papers. I don't think Danny, Doc, Wyc or anyone else will just offer up the info. Someone needs to ask them. The question becomes, will anyone? That raises another question.

I cannot say whether anyone from the media used it in a question. I wasn’t there personally, but it appears that no one from the Celtics said that word.

Your blog just attended media day yesterday. Did the word "staples" ever get mentioned???? The bigger question is whether anyone in the media will ask for full disclosure?
