ChosenOne Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 With the Boston Celtics in desperate need for big bodies, they traded one of their own in Glen "Big Baby" Davis on Friday. Davis was dealt to the Orlando Magic as part of a sign-and-trade in return for power forward Brandon Bass, both of whom are former LSU stars. Davis's asking price was too high for Boston, which owned Big Baby's "Bird rights." But with Davis looking for a deal that exceeded the full midlevel exemption of $5 million, Danny Ainge decided to find a trade partner. Despite being undersized, Bass is a guy that Orlando management was high on. Instead, the Magic acquire Davis, who's coming off of an up-and-down season. He was much better early in the season than he was toward the end. Davis ended up putting up decent numbers, averaging 11.7 points per game and 5.4 rebounds per game in 29.5 minutes of action. Bass averaged similar numbers for the Magic last season, posting career highs. The acquisition of Davis may be a plea to Dwight Howard to get him to stay in Orlando, as Davis is one of the guys who Howard had asked Magic GM Otis Smith to sign.

AboveLegit Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Undersized at the 4 spot like Big Baby, but regardless he is an upgrade. I like his midrange game, and he's very athletic. Plus he comes cheap, and that saved money can go to re-signing Green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
