The Herald has a fluff piece this morning telling us how happy Telfair is with being in Boston. He is close to his roots in New York, happy to be away from the chaos in Portland, and happy to be playing for a team who feels that he has talent and will fit our system.

“You’re not out there just playing; you mean something. That’s huge for me, and that’s why I was excited to come to a team like this where we have an All-Star like Paul and people upstairs who want me here. As far as who’s going to start and all that, it’s pretty much wide open as I see it. Everyone’s going to come in and play hard and do their best to get the starting job.”
