Good for starters... you also have to find a way to keep Leon Powe and Eddy House and figure out how to keep Rondo, Ray Allen and Toni Allen on the roster past next season... sounds like a team waiting to implode... open the checlbook Boston!

It will all work itself out.

Keeping Glen Davis is a bonus - he had a big playoffs and has been valuable - Ray Allen, Rondo, KG, Pierce are the most important...mid level exception and bi-annual will be a big plus too.

Good man Danny-we need to keep big baby...question is do we go after Leon also???we need a marcus camby type guy also...

I think Leon is a cheap re-sign. He has been hurt so much in his career - who would roll the dice on someone with so many injuries. Boston needs to resign House and I am sure they will. We still don't have a big man backing up Perkins. I agree, we need someone that can block shots and get boards off the bench.

We still don't have a Posey replacement though! No bench player that can play perimeter D AND hit spot up jumpers. Boston still needs 1 more signing with someone that can contribute rather it be a big man or perimeter player. Marbury gonna stay? If he has a whole season to play with them now and work out all summer knowing he'll get some PT - he could contribute in a big way this next year - such a crap shoot with him and I don't think this season is a fair assessment of him.

Boston is just doing their part but the offer is maybe too small. Other teams will offer more then what Boston can handle. I would be worrid more about Rondo because Ainge has stirred up the pot on Rondo when Rondo has already proven his worth. Ainge hates Rondo and he will get rid of him. Ainge's ego is on the way of the team's success.

Davis has been a much better pro player than I expected.

the qualifying offer is a no-brianer....then WAIT to see who
give him an offer.....
There is no reason to be STUPID - ala the lakers with bynum-
and bid against YOURSELF.....

Baby is a solid player- but if someone gives him a HUGE deal-
unfortunately you have to let him walk- no choice

If your going to advertise your website, I would suggest you put more than 5 lousy words that really care no meaning. Me seeing this tells me that your website is most likely filled with garbage 1 line write ups on other players. Terrible marketing.

Give him a big contract and he'll just lose it all from law suits by nine year olds he body slams on the sidelines!

lol...That kid's dad was the def of a dbag. Big Baby is going to get a big offer from another team. I hope the Celtics match it and hold on to him.

Got to keep Big Baby.

I heard on the fan Knicks were working on a trade of Curry and Nater Robertson to Boston for Davis.

He was a concerned father who's son got run over by a 6'9, 280 giant. And you wouldn't be scared?

It's one thing to be scared, but it's entirely different to carry on for days making yourself look like a **** and your kid look like a sissy. The kid shouldn't have been on the court.

Boston wil do what it takes to try to get better - but N.O. ought to go after Big Baby.

Please resign with boston.. This just adds to the lakers length advantage (with bynum, of course!)..

Quit being a pu55y about this! My goodness! He was in the way on the court. So he got bumped a little, big whoop! I've seen young kids have worse scrapes than that. Either suck it up or put on a pamper!!

I personally told David Aldridge the Celtics were the favorites when they got KG two seasons ago. All the experts said, "can they play together?" "Let's see how they mess." "It's a one and done experiment."

No. Boston's development of Big Baby, Perkins and Rondo to compliment their Big Three could have easily won back-to-back titles. And if they don't implode, they'll be contenders again. Orlando is still solid with getting Carter, Cleveland improved, LA is still good and everyone better watch out for San Antonio again.

The NBA isn't about Cinderella stories. It's also not about youth. Young teams don't win the NBA title, talented teams do. For all the magnificent skills of Lebron, he will never win an NBA title if the next best player on his team is Mo Williams.

Please, that Cleveland would even think that's possible shows me how stupid some people in the NBA are. They could have had Shaq last year and waited cuz the didn't also want to give up Wally World? WTF...if true that was just stupid. You barely even played Sczerbiak (sp?) in the playoffs.

Then you draft ??? And pass on someone that could help you like Sam Young, DeJuan Blair, DeJuan Summers or Jodie Meeks. For real Cleveland? Delonte West is decent - he's not irreplaceable.

The Big 3 only have a few more years left probably, so Davis should be a key part of the future of the team.
