ESPN reports Detroit out of BBD sweepstakes

[P2]

I also saw on ESPN news bottom line that Davis is apparently going to skip training camp, or in football terms hold out, due to contract disputes and the fact that i guess the celtics either aren't making progress in time to sign him, or their offers are much lower than BBD is looking for.

Then I don't want him. Let him rot and not play at all. With that attitude, he will be out of the league very quickly. He is not a team player, he plays only for his living.

Was it training camp?  I haven't heard that.  I know he just announced yesterday that he won't be participating in the Team USA mini-camp, since he's still a free agent, but I've heard nothing about him holding out.

Of course, if he doesn't have a contract, it would also make sense that he'd skip the Celtics' training camp, as he's still a free agent.

Baby is pulling out of USA mini training camp.

P2 needs to put the lid back on his haterade.

Yeah, it was about the team USA thing.  The Bottom Line can be very misleading at times.

I don't think the Bottom Line is misleading, I think that was just a place of the telephone game. One person catches the bottom line real quick and as it gets passed along, "USA Select Team mini-camp" becomes "Celtics training camp" and "he isn't under contract" becomes "contract disputes" and "he doesn't want to get injured when he doesn't have a contract" gets completely lost in the shuffle.
