magicbalala245 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Free-agent guard Marquis Daniels has committed to sign with the Boston Celtics, a league source said Friday. Daniels will receive the Celtics’ $1.9 million biannual salary-cap exception if the Indiana Pacers aren’t interested in a sign-and-trade deal. The 6-foot-6 Daniels averaged 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 54 games with Indiana last season, his third with the team. Daniels previously played three seasons with the Mavericks. Daniels, 28, will help improve the Celtics’ perimeter depth. Boston signed free-agent forward Rasheed Wallace last week and remains interested in keeping forward Glen Davis.

Cleveland's Finest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 All I can say is...wow. Huge signing and I hope Cavs management can counter that. So much for bench problems. Assume this means Big Baby won't be coming back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Terrific signing for the Celtics if you ask me. I really like Daniels game and wanted the Raptors to try and pursue him. Hell, I would've been okay with the Raptors giving him the full MLE so the Celtics getting him for the Bi-Annual Exception is a freaking steal. He is going to really strengthen their bench and add some talent and toughness off of the bench. Very good move on the Celtics behalf and they are just further solidifying their spot as the team to beat in the East in my opinion (assuming KG comes back and plays like we all know he is capable of and they aren't hit with injuries).

The Goods Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) If Big Baby leaves, then this signing is a fail. Edited July 18, 2009 by The Goods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 If Big Baby leaves, then this signing is a fail.If Odom leaves, the Artest signing is a fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmelamare Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Nice signing by the Celtics, he could be our Sam cassell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
His Greatness Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 (edited) I'm not as excited about the signing as some of you are, but he's a good defender that will do a solid job spelling Pierce, or even Rondo. Adequate player, good signing. Edited July 18, 2009 by His Greatness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtics3420 Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Baby will be a celtic when its all said and done, unless some money happy team decides to offer him full MLE -_-. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRT Spidey Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 dont know much about his game..but sounds like a good deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 He could be the replacement the C's have been looking for since Posey left. Big Baby could still come back to Boston, Ainge can match any offer made to Glen. I still think he will come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobeedoo Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 A steal. Daniels filled in admirably when Granger or Dunleavy JR sat out because of injuries. Doc can finally tone down Pierce's minutes. Daniels is not as clutch or a high quality shooter like Posey was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
