Miami Former Celtics

by Jeff Clark on Jul 25, 2008 1:04 PM EDT in Boston Celtics News & Links

I couldn't help but chuckle upon reading this blurb from a Miami Heat blog:

Among the emails to pass this way in the recent dog days of free agency are those wondering, just wondering, about the potential virtues of a Ricky Davis reunion.

Yes, he can score. Yes, there might be something to be said about Davis as a sixth man.

But there's no way you distance yourself from 15-67 by bringing back too much of the 15-67. With Mark Blount and Marcus Banks, there is little choice. They're under contract. But with Davis a free agent, the Heat would actively have to pursue a reunion.

With all due respect to Heat fans, ...aaaaaaaaaahhhahahahahahah! Hooooo! Glad that's not us anymore. That is all I have to say about that. Thank you.

I am SO glad that Blount isn’t our burden any longer.

Ricky Davis I’d take back…but I’d turn on the team if Blount were to return.

Hate him more than any other Celtic ever, including Pervis Ellison.

Blount is still due more than $15 million in two years…ouch!!

Come on have some sympathy. I’m also very glad it’s not us but I would have been upset if someone was making fun of us when we were going through it.

People WERE making fun of us, Evantime34.

Just thinking of Blount now and his “rebounding efforts”…

He ranks #216 in rebounds per 48min (#76 out of the 83 centers in the league…he’s actually better than the Collins and Barganani :P

not really laughing at Heat fans, more like I’m laughing at Pat Riley

Blount is the most pathetic, lackluster, heartless, jerk to ever suit up…for any squad.

The Heat are wise to release him…or take $0.02 on the dollar for a super extra way back up center.

I had wondered about whether Danny would have any interest in Ricky Davis as a 6th man. Apparently not. As for the Heat fans and them suffering Blount, I feel empathy, but shudder at the thought of us suffering him again.

I live in So Fla, and you will never catch me rooting for that team. Any team with Mark Blount on it is definitely in rebuilding mode. And Marcus Banks has such potential. He’ll still have potential when he’s 50.

Any team with Blount on it is in Tanking mode, not rebuilding mode!! ;D

Mark Blount is Red’s curse on Pat Riley. :)

Those 3 cancers under contract?! Wow.

Plus the immortal Shawn Marion “I’d rather be 2nd banana on a lottery team, than a vital piece of a Championship contender”

Brilliant.

I’d love to see Ricky back. It would be worth the ability to keep Paul and Ray’s minutes down when we need a scorer in the game.

Let him do what he does best. Instant offense off the bench. 20 minutes a game.

KG will kick his a$$ up and down he street if he doesn’t buy in.

Ricky Davis played well for the Celtics, and was in the running for 6th man of the year. His personality may be challenging, but I never saw him dog it on the court. (He did stupid thing defensively, but never lazy things). I would not put him in the same bucket as Blount and Banks.

Uh, just like KG kicked his ass up and down the street in Minny? How’d that pairing go?

blunt does rank way up (?) or down- whichever way you want to phrase it- he was bad-skippy took the $ and i hope he chokes on it.

ahhh.. the mark blount saga continues

I Don’t think Ricky would buy into Ubuntu or just playing 20 minutes a game. Blount would be a guy who you give one year
contracts to. Even that might not keep him from dogging it.
He is lucky he is 7 feet tall. If he was 6’6" he’d be checking
IDs at some night club.
