The Goods Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Glen Davis would prefer to remain with the Celtics, and dislikes that insecurity that comes along with free agency. "I'm eager and kind of curious," said Davis. "I don't know where I'm going to be. I like security. Not knowing where I'm going to be is scary. But at the end of the day, I'm in a good position where I'm going to make more money. "I'll be very excited to come back to the Celtics or go to a team where I might start. Wherever I'm at, I'll be happy." In his season season, Davis averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 21.5 minutes for Boston. His numbers spiked up to 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds during the postseason. "If I'm on a team where it's tough to get wins, a young team, I'd love to start," said Davis. "But if it's a championship-caliber team, I'd love to come off the bench. It depends on where I am. I'd love to come off the bench behind KG. But if not, I'd love to start, too." Celtics president Danny Ainge has said that the team will extend a qualifying offer to Davis, ensuring that he'll be a restricted free agent. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60145/20090628/big_baby_hopes_to_return_to_celtics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KurbyFX Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I also heard he losing those pounds of his. He's aiming for 270 O_O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 29, 2009 Owner Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I don't know why they wouldn't bring him back, especially with Garnett's knee troubles and their thin frontcourt. How is Leon Powe coming along? I believe it was his knee that knocked him out of the first round the year he was drafted. And Davis slimming down won't be a problem. He wants to shoot more than bang down low, anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurbyFX Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 The earliest Powe may return is at LEAST after All-Star break (from what I've heard) and the chances of that are very slim (supposedly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren2ThaG Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 He's important to them. Can shoot from a wide range of spots now... Really improved from his rookie year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 This would be huge, signing Big Baby to a large contract, getting him out of Free Agency early in the off season, preventing any team from making an offer for him. If they can lock him up along with Powe, and keep Rondo out of useless trade rumors, they won't be in a huge hole after the Big 3 retire.

AboveLegit Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Exactly, KG won't be playing a full 82 game season anymore, they need Glen playing heavy minutes once again if they don't make any moves in the off season. I still cannot believe Danny put Rondo on the block still, it's so foolish of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoneOtherThan... Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Ainge was simply doing his job - attempting to sell high after buying low I doubt any Rondo talks were serious. He just wanted to see his value around the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Goods Posted June 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Big Baby To Receive Qualifying Offer From Celtics Danny Ainge confirmed Monday that the Celtics will make a qualifying offer to forward Glen Davis. By virtue of that, if another NBA team were to sign Davis, a restricted free agent, to an offer sheet, Boston would have seven days to match it. http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60182/20090629/big_baby_to_receive_qualifying_offer_from_celtics/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicbalala245 Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 It be a good fit if Celtics could retain Big Baby Davis. Would LA still be scared of Celtics then no. Cause we should bring back Odom and Ariza and on top of that Nate Robinson as reports are saying Lakers are the front runners in bringing Nate Robinson to LA.
