Big Baby Updates - Running Out Of Options

the LLE? He played consistent minutes and produced little. I’m not saying he’s a bad player, but 2 million bucks is what he’s worht. He needs to aim lower.

Glen Davis won’t get the money he wants but the C’s let the free market tell him that rather than them creating a negative. Detroit has Villanueva, Maxiel (for 4 more years at $5 mil/year) and Oberto – all who play Davis’s position. Unless they can move Maxiel they can’t bring in Davis. Dumars is a smart dealer (C Billups trade aside). Davis isn’t going to Detroit.

Welcome back Glen. 2-3 mil per year is still more than Bill Russell made in any year of his career so be grateful and keep improving your game and you’ll get your chance to score big money some day down the road

Moon who is 30 years old for a 23 year old developing big? No thanks!

time is running out and i don’t see a posey lutking out there to be cherry picked.

I would have absolutely rejoiced with that sign-and-trade. I hope Danny keeps trying that same method to get someone. btw, this will net BBD a bigger contract than if he were to just sign back with us (most likely), so you should be happy for him

bbd looks good in green but I hope he doesn’t cry again if he has to accept a paltry 3.5m contract from us

Moon is an above average rebounder for his size and would have fit in with the Celtics but I’m not upset that we won’t get him. We still have plenty of time to see what’s out there and also facilitate a couple of minor trades involving Scal, T-Allen, Pruitt, Walker and J.R. as the pieces.

here’s some infor from Ira Winderman on the Heat’s view of Moon:

“Q: If Jamario Moon decides to re-sign with the Heat, who do you think will get the majority of playing time off the bench at small forward: James Jones or Moon? I really like how well Wade and Moon complement each other, but, at the same time, Jones began to show his old form in the playoff series against Atlanta. Your thoughts? — Daniel.

A: I’m not sure the Heat even will allow Jamario to re-sign, with commitments at small forward in place to Jones, Yakhouba Diawara and Dorell Wright, let alone Michael Beasley possibly being given the opportunity to start there. With Jones under contract for four more seasons, I’d say he remains the front-runner for any available minutes."

Owners seem less willing these days to overpay for players, even though many still do. When Baby signed his original contract it was purposely done to make him a restricted free agent after the second year, in the hopes of getting big bucks sooner rather than later. That was his choice. I don’t know what the history of his agent is, but if I were Baby I would start to think about this on his own. If he hasn’t he should call Danny and discuss this. I think Danny would sign him in a minute to a reasonable contract. If Baby stays here at least 2 more years he will be a better player because of the influences around him. Better players have a better chance at getting better bucks. I don’t think Baby is there yet. I personally want to see him in a Celtic uniform.

Deng will be back and i wonder if Chicago wont give Salmons for the right deal to save some money

and not the Cs, and he doesn’t sulk for a year feeling he’s underpaid, we should be good to go at that spot on the bench. I think Walker, Pruitt, Giddens will have to get better if that’s possible. Also, let’s not forget that before Scal got his noggin whacked a few times he was starting to play up to his potential which isn’t bad. Finally, I think Danny has the door open for Powe at midseason if Powe can show he can play. Sorry, but the guy has had three serious knee injuries. It wasn’t a bad move not to sign him to a long term contract. As I’ve said before, Powe is very flat-flooted which is something you can’t change. Watch how awkward he seems sometimes near the basket and how his back seems to be abnormally straight. It’s a small thing but when you play NBA level ball, scouts, GMs, etc…watch these things and I believe that has contributed to his knee injuries – certainly the last injury. It was a very tough decision, but I think Ainge made the right one with Powe as ugly as it might appear to be.

IF THE CELTICES LOSE DAVIS- WHO HAS PROVEN TO BE ABLE TO FILL IN, THEY ARE STUPID. WITH THE LOSE OF POWE, WHAT A DUO OF WALLACE-DAVIS OFF THE BENCH. DIDNT WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH LACK A BENCH SCORING.
SCAL – SHOULD GO, WHAT GOOD IS HE ANYWAY EXCEPT TO FILL A SEAT ON THE BENCH.
COME ON CELTICES- DONT LET CHAMP 17 BE A FLUX, AND MAKE US WAIT AGAIN. TAKE ALL WE CAN GET WHEN THESE THREE STILL PLAYING

The days of having a good half of a season and cashing in for a big contract are over. Think about it a few years ago Mark Blount got seven million a year for a half of season’s work. Now, Rasheed Wallace is signing for the mid level exception. It is just not the same league it was in the early 00s. BBD is not going to get big money. In the end the Celtics will throw a few million his way and that will be it.
