they dont want him...

Some team in Europe could really use his skills as a starting power forward.

Its not like he won't be in the NBA next year. I don't want him starting on the Celtics, but he was an instrumental guy for us over the past few years and was probably the 6th man of the year for the first 2.5 months of this year. At 3mm, virtually every team would take a chance on him for that number. I'm as frustrated with this guy as anyone, but let's not go nuts and pretend he's not an asset. Did he suck from Feb 1 - June 1? Oh man, he was terrible. But you are still talking about a young big who put in quality playoff/Finals minutes the last few years.

Three things he did the past 4mths:
1. Cost us a shot at the title as we counted on him to be a scoring threat in the past, and he was terrible.
2. Cost us a huge sign and trade asset going into the offseason.
3. Cost himself $10mm.

Nice job, Baby.

Never said he wouldn't be.  I'm just asking for someone to present a scenario where a team other than Celtics would offer him a multi-year contract for more than the minimum.  I don't think that "virtually every team" would want him for $3 million/year for two years.

Here are seven teams with something in common: Dallas, Miami, Chicago, Oklahoma City, Memphis, Atlanta, LA Lakers.  Would they be in the market for Big Baby?

Dallas: No. They have Shawn Marion.
Miami: No. They have Udonis Haslem.
Oklahoma: Maybe. They could want to trade Byron Mullens. And Big Baby gives more versatility for them.
Memphis: Yes. He should be an upgrade over Darrell Arthur.
Atlanta: If they trade Josh Smith, then yes.
LA Lakers: If they trade two bigs for Dwight Howard, then yes.

 Glen Davis' mouth, the fact that he was terrible in the post season and for much of the 2nd half of the regular season and the new CBA will cost him millions of dollars.

 I believe his options will be few if any of the kind for money/role he is looking for. I don't know that anyone is going to give the C's anything of value for him.  I kind of hope that doesn't mean he is back in Boston because we have other bench guys who are fully capable of scoring but when/if he is in the game they don't see the basketball because he is a black hole.

True Dat.

One team that might possible want him is the Maine Red Claws.  I don't know that he'll get the minutes he wants though.

I do think Charlotte could be interested, especially if they have difficulties resolving Biyombo's buyout with his Spanish League team.

Diaw won't be with the team much longer (nearly traded last year). Davis is close friends with Tyrus Thomas. Charlotte could give Davis minutes, and should have cap space.

Boston could S&T Davis to Charlotte, and agree to take back an expiring contract like Najera, or another contract like Matt Carroll. This would help preserve Charlotte's cap space yet allow them to add to their rotation a young veteran with significant playoff experience in Davis.

Not a compelling argument perhaps, but a plausible scenario.

TP,i was about to post the Bobcats until i read ur post...you make some v.good points to why as well.
