Is this BBD's real twitter?

If so, he doesn't seem so positive on signing with Boston..

And that Ben Gordon guy....

Unless, of course, you were being sarcastic


Uh forgot about that guy.

They are pretty thin at center and if you think Jason Maxiell is worth 5 mil a year why no Glen Davis?

"But the Pistons will have trouble creating enough cap room in order to make a serious run at Davis, who starred for the Celtics in Kevin Garnett's absence in the playoffs. After Monday's trade, which cleared an additional $1.8 million in cap room, Detroit only has eight players under contract, not including its three drafted players -- Austin Daye, DeJuan Summers and Jonas Jurebko. (The Pistons will keep all three of their rookies.) The Pistons' current outlay next season for its eight veterans, including the newly signed Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva, along with other monies like the $1.9 million that remains on its cap after waiving veteran center Fabricio Oberto and the first-round money due to Daye, is about $53.8 million. With the cap set for next year at $57.7 million, that only leaves a little less than $4 million if Detroit wanted to sign Davis to an offer sheet. But the Celtics would likely match such an offer."

I think Dallas may be more of a worry even though earlier they said they weren't interested

"The Celtics say they plan to match any offer under $5.6 million to Davis."

i dont think they would match a 5mil offer... but saying something like that might make teams think twice about tying up their money with him

good bluff if it is one IMO
