Celts in talks to trade Davis to Orlando

[celticinorlando]

wonder if they try to sign and trade jeff green

[Assassin70]

Adding Bass brings more athleticism and better shooting percentages, and adding Wilcox adds more bulk and rebounding up front -- and these things are exactly what this team needs. Good work, DA.

Indeed /approve

[birdwatcher]

this just seems like a lateral move to me. It's pretty much apples for apples. Too bad we couldn't pull off a Baby for Thad Young.

[celticinorlando]

sounds like it is done:

SpearsNBAYahoo Marc J. Spears
Celtics trading F Glen Davis in sign and trade to Magic for F Brandon Bass, source tells @YahooSports.

Good.



Now, is it wrong for me to hope their is a happy little bonus coming with Bass?  

which would be what?

bass is a LEGIT PF..while baby was so undersized...bass is a much better finisher and shooter without baby's ego. upgrade IMO

Not sure.


Maybe an extra 2nd. 

Something small.

Reading the Orlando Pinstriped Post blog, the comments seem to be favorable towards trading "No Pass" Bass and Big Baby seems to be on a list of players recommended by Dwight Howard for the Magic to target.

Bass is a black hole. Shoots it all the time. He will be a good backup though. Wouldn't want to see him run with the starters with that selfish mentality, but I do like him off the bench.

[celticinorlando]

now what to do with jeff green? worst case he stays one more year...ok case he get s long deal...best case..they move him in a sign and trade

[celticinorlando]

still need:

1. a LEGIT back up center. I really would like Aaron Gray. But we have to have this off the bench
2. Jeff Green or a SF
3. delonte west

Doesn't sound all that different than Glen Davis, Davis is a better passer when he tries however.

Bass is smaller than Davis. He measured at 6'6.25 barefoot 6'7.25 with shoes on. And an 8'10 standing reach, which doesn't make him appear to be able to play particularly bigger than his size.

BBD to Orlando for Brandon Bass is "a done deal" now. Story should be up shortly.

Does this mean that Howard wants to come to Boston?
