Report: Marquis Daniels Signing Tomorrow?

Steve Bulpett reports that the Marquis Daniels saga may be coming to an end:
The long wait for Marquis Daniels is nearing its end. According to sources, the Celtics expect to sign the 6-foot-6 swingman tomorrow to a contract for the biannual exception.
The delay in getting Daniels officially into Green was caused by the team trying to work out a sign-and-trade that would benefit both the Celts and Indiana, the club Daniels is leaving.
The Celtics were hoping to make such a move to clear some roster space while getting Daniels more than the nearly $2 million he will get for 2009-10. Had they been able to come up with something palatable for all sides -- a three-team trade was being sought -- the Pacers would have been able to get something for their departing free agent.

That's funny....???
I thought the bi-annual excpetion were the two times Scali got a rebound each season?

Well at least that didn't take too long...
Wow, they tried, just didn’t work out. At least we can use those expirings to trade for a Nocioni or someone like that now or down the line.

Yeah, this is the best possible outcome. I know Indiana wants something back and all, but for the Celtics it’s best. We get Quisy, and we get to hold on to Scal and The Tony Allen Contract and use those two assets to trade for someone like Nocioni, Posey, maybe Raja Bell, who knows. And in the meantime before those assets are traded, we still benefit by having Scal as an option off the bench.

We’re not going to trade for Posey otherwise we would have signed him last year.

Unfortunately you're right,
the C’s won’t get Posey back, if DA did get Posey back it would amount to admitting it was a mistake to let him walk, which, I’m guessing, is the opinion of the majority of fans here (yes, I know, that cap space 4 years down the road will be nice, but a title in 2009 would have been nice as well, and Posey was an integral part of the 2008 championship team, a perfect 6th man who was a glue guy and changed the game in some little way on almost every play — it would have been nice to have him as an option against Lewis and Turkoglu last year, right?)
Signing Marquis without doing a S+T gives the Cs the option of packaging Scal and the TA contract for another solid player in the 5-6 million range at the deadline, whereas if they had done a S+T including the TA contract they would only have Scal as a chip at the deadline, so they could target a player in the 3 million range (assuming House isn’t traded, which he shouldn’t be). In my opinion the perfect player would be Nocioni, he would fill the Posey role, and he’s on a team that’s going nowhere, with a large contract that’s not expiring.

depends on Lester Hudson I think
Is it Soup Yet?

Yeah, I guess.
‘Cause Daniels brings us to 14 under contract. Sure wish we could have gotten a trade done. While barely seeing any of Hudson, I think I’d rather have a vet PG than him, push come to shove.

I wonder what will happen 1st?
Marquis Daniels becomes a Celtic or Rubio plays in the NBA?
I thought this was done already. Talk about limbo.

I'm going with Daniels
Anything else is a sucker-bet.

I wonder if Tony or Scal could even make the Red Claws?

I see folks are practically in mid-season form in using Scalabrine as a whipping boy.

He's ok
Kind of an out-dated model. He probably would have been a whole lot better 30 years ago.
And, I was obviously over-exaggerating. I guess I just wish our 2 young starting stars combined made more money than him. He just seams like the fat that needs to be trimmed.
Do you guys think that the Celtics are going to re-sign him? Obviously they are going to trade his contract like an Atari Jaguar as soon as they can get something for it.
And, I LOVE that you didn’t defend Tony. Awesome!

Scal is not that bad,..
He’s just doesn’t have much of a place on this roster when we could use his expiring contract to get a much more useful player to help back-up SF/PF.
by BWC on Aug 31, 2009 7:12 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
I agree on the contract...
but don’t forget he actually played fairly well last year.. just look at how the team performed when he was on the floor… WELL! Not to be a total broken record, but I’d rather see Scal on the court than BBD… less errors and better defense.

scal
That said, most healthy players on five-year contracts don’t spend the postseason in civilian clothes; that Scalabrine was says all you need to know about the wisdom of inking him to that generous deal three years ago. Scalabrine is one of the least effective offensive players in basketball, shooting a ghastly 30.2 percent last season and ranking in the bottom five at his position in both TS% and turnover ratio. He’s also an extremely poor rebounder for the power forward spot, and ended up ranking dead last among power forwards in PER.

off on topic
The person in the Apartment under me cooks fish soup like 3-4 times a week. Fish soup has to be the most obnoxious smell ever. I would rather where a skunk pelt coat.

Daniels' jersey?
What jersey may Daniels wear with the Green? We all know No.6 is for Bill Russell and since Mikki Moore no longer around, I pick No.7 will be Marquis’ jersey with the Celts. By the way, will Baby also change jersey since Leon Powe now with Cleveland? Baby’s original number at LSU is No.0…Go Celtics Go banner No.18!

I care nothing about numbers, but it would seem like bad form for Davis to drop #11 to take the one Powe left behind. What’s the point of further aggravating the grieving Powe loyalists?
by no kidding on Aug 31, 2009 8:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
those loyalists
…need to dust off their boredom and get thrilled to see Sheed be about 1 million times more entertaining than Powe.

Speak judiciously of the departed.
You never know where a Powe loyalist might be. You could end up getting fish soup aroma every night of the week.

I take that as a serious threat!
Ha, I know you Powe supporters linger. I did really like him. I always did. I’m just over it.

Well, Daniels will soon sign
and this just in….
Mao is still dead.

this is the best scenario for the celtics they get the player they wanted for cheaper and they get to hold on to there expiring contracts to pick up a player at the trade deadline. the only way this wuldnt work out is of marquis had a problem playing for less money, and the fact that he approached the celtics for a chance to play in green shows me the extra moeny doesnt matter to him and he wants to win, it wuld be nice if the nba had more players like this

Too bad TA
Has so many problems of the court in Chicago. Maybe wè could have made a trade with TA n draft picks to the Bulls for Kirk Hinrich and use him as our back up. Anybody wanna help pitch in to get TA an extra body guard?
by jfarias on Sep 1, 2009 7:58 AM EDT via mobile reply actions 0 recs
Finally!!!
Ok, now with the back up small forward position filled all we need now is to get a back up point guard and a 3rd string back up center and we will be good to go after title # 18.
