Sun night 10PM -- Tanguay on BBD

[SSFan V]

Tanguay just said on Comcast that he does not think the Celtics will match any offer that "comes Big Baby's way."

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

With the number of suitors dropping as well as the price, BBD is  quite valuable to the Celts even if it's just for a S&T.

Can we confirm if this was a gut feeling or sources?

We'll see what happens if Portland offers BBD for the MLE or more (in years 3+).  That's unlikely to happen, but I doubt very much that Danny would match any possible offer.

Interesting. I hope he plans on singing someone else to replace Big Baby. So hopefully we can kill two birds with one stone with the Daniels deal and get a PG in that and then go sign someone like Joe Smith for the LLE

Can you contextualize this for me? Did Tanguay mean that the Celtics won't match BBD regardless of the offer sheet or rather that there is a limit to what they would match. Essentially, I'm unclear on how he used the term 'any'.

I don't think Portland would make that sort of offer. You don't pay an average backup big man 5+ million a year.

I pass on Joe Smith.  We need some young bigs on this team besides Perk.

Gooden if no Baby I'd wager. Maybe that's why we're keeping the lle.

Yes, please clarify.

It's literally all he said.

Jason Maxiell is a $5M a year player.

I'd think Gooden would get more than the LLE from someone.

Tanguay still has a job? 

I thought BBD was going to the Spurs?  And Grant Hill was going to sign here the same day as Sheed?  Heck, just go on any blog with a message board, and you can come up with more reliable information than that guy.

He also rebounded and scored at a much more efficient rate than BBD his contract year.

Portland only has cap space for this year, they aren't going to waste it getting a backup. Even carrying it to the trade deadline should allow them to land an impact player.

I stopped standing on pins and needles over GT's rumors a couple of weeks ago. We should all do the same.

BTW is anyone else having a decided negative reaction to people breaking major player news via twitter? Gosh darn kids today...
