Danny seems to be following the Belicheck MO when players ask for more than their market worth. See Donta Hightower or Wes Welker. Both guys agents balked at patriots offers which would've paid them much more than they wound up making. Unfortunately for the pats welker went to another team while Hightower came back with his tail between his legs.
Not sure why smart should ignore the Celtics and feel "disrespected" because they wont pay him millions more than he is worth. Doesn't seem like other teams want to pay him that either.
