Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
Greg Stiemsma will be in Boston for the next few days to pack up his apartment, but the free agent center doesn’t want Celtics fans to read anything into the move.
“It’s just that I have a month-to-month lease and I’m not going to be there in July at all so I can save a little money by getting out of my apartment,” Stiemsma said. “I’m hoping to re-sign on a new lease soon.”
In order to re-sign a lease, Stiemsma first would need to re-sign with the Celtics. The 6-foot-11 rookie is a restricted free agent and the Celtics will need to extend a qualifying offer of $1.05 million by June 30, which should be little more than a procedural formality. Free agency begins on July 1, at which time Stiemsma will be able to negotiate with other teams, but the C’s will have three days to match any offer sheet.

The power of Twitter is instant information and the ability to disseminate extremely quickly. When news breaks, it quickly spreads as people retweet the information, or see other people retweeting it, and decide to do so themselves as well.
