Agree, cheap signing and a good rim protector, wish Ainge would have offered it but it would interfere with tankage.

Bargain deal!!

Adrian Wojnarowski: "Davis' deal is two years, $2M, with a player option on the 2015-'16 season."

can't believe we were not willing to offer more than that.

Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.!  Why would he sign for that little? I would pay him four times that. He needs to fire his agent.

This is close to Chris Johnson's per yr salary... are they in a hurry to sign??

What? Why would we not make a similar offer. This offseason has been extremely depressing.

If we sign Evan Turner I am moving to San Antonio.

Apparently there's a common agent that might've factor into this, he has the same agent as Kobe Bryant.

He has a player option for year 2.  I guess he sees tons of playing time in LA so he can have a great year and sign for the big bucks next summer.  (We will give him a Jordan Hill style contract just watch!)

Is Ed Davis really a rim protector? If he was the answer wouldn't he be making a lot more money from someone?

I am pretty sure he is an athletic power forward who can't shoot, and NOT a defensive center.

is there money under the table? like agent pays ed davis behind the scenes if he chooses LA, and the agent gets money under the table from LA to push that? so everyone wins.

it reminds me of AK47 signing in brooklyn for cheap.

I was interested in him, as well, but I thought that it was widely accepted on here that Davis is not exactly a 'rim protector.'  He would have fit in perfectly with our (KO aside) 6'9" and under front line, however ::)

Wow so for $10 million we could have had Ed Davis and Lance Stephenson for short term deals.
He'd be a nice rotation multi PF/C that could build some great trade value playing with Rondo for a season. I wonder if he'll start ahead of Randle.
"We are lucky we have a very patient GM that isn't willing to settle for being good and coming close. He wants to win a championship and we have the potential to get there still with our roster and assets."

quoting 'Greg B' on RealGM after 2017 trade deadline.
Read that last line again. One more time.
