If you are under the luxury tax you have more leeway in sign and trades.

I think Danny is waiting to see what shakes loose for the BAE price range after most of the top FAs go off the market after the first two weeks of free agency.

To see whether he can get something better with the BAE than Stiemsma (or Wilcox). Or maybe if other options fall through, Pietrus may consider it.

DA probably doesn't want to make a big deal about it.
Signed to a 6 year $0 contract with the Celtics Blog forum!

#CelticsTalk: #Celtics are expected to have press conference on Saturday to introduce their offseason additions.

Them waiting so long means they are probably expecting someone else... LET'S GO!!

well right now we're really thin at our guard and center positions (and, to a lesser extant, the 4 as well) so i'm really hoping to see these needs addressed, and addressed well. (esp front court)

Well Brendan Haywood just got cut from the Mavs roster so thats an option. And at PG we could always bring Dooling back or use our BAE on a backup PG.

Maybe the team is waiting for the Summer League to end so that Ainge and Doc are back in town for all the pomp and circumstance.

There was a thread I posted earlier today "Don't expect Celtics to sign our own FA's immediately" explaining the reasons.

You'll find thee answers there.
