Big Baby - Lee Trade

javascript:newwind('http://www.csnne.com/wickedgoodsports/celtics/big-baby-update-2/','136')

Dallas has become the 5th team interested in Glen "Big Baby" Davis, along with Memphis, New York, San Antonio and Detroit. He wants to stay in Boston but the money may be to good to turn down. Leon Powe is an example of what can happen. Leon was going to make a lot of money until he blew out his knee. If Baby gets more money elsewhere, he has to take it. Furthermore, if he becomes a starter elsewhere, especially NY, the endorsement deals will roll in. CSNNE.com

No thanks. If Lee does go to Portland and we get Davis I'll be livid.


Proposal for Lee to Portland.

The deal would work with Fernandez @ $1.5m and the Blazers having to pay $9m toward the final year of Miles contract which (obviously) comes off the books before you know when.

Just a thought. We have too many SGs, but with Mobley's money saver available to us, hopefully Hughes is gone and forgotten.

To lose the blue collar Lee for nothing in return can't happen. This'd work and end up cheap in the long run.

Just sayin'.

great trade, we would finaly have someone who can knock down open shots and is quick on his feet on D...miles could be good too if used the right way in the post, i would never let him shoot tho

givin hughes playin time & shots = another lost season of huge embarrasment and disappointment

Great!! I love to see Euro guys may go to NY. It all makes sense if they do. Mike D loves their style of play too. Also less a chance of guys being lazy, loud, or obnoxious

why isnt anyone talkin about chris anderson? birdman was second in the league in blocks, and denver can offer him a max of 5.5 mil. i say we court birdman..

Not a bad call. He's stated he only wants to play in Denver though. Great replacement for Lee with less O and a lot more D.

Wanting to trade or get rid of Lee & Nate

It is very confusing to the point of baffle.....

which bothers me about so many members on this board.
I just dont see any 2010 star FA wanting to go to a gutted team.

We have 3 players (Lee, Chandler, and Nate) on our roster now that we all should know their talent would make a star player be able to perform at the next level.

We can not say that about Eddy Curry, Jefferies, Harrington, Larry Hughes, or Darko.

Miles is a free agent who the Blazers don't hold rights to or any other team. The trade of Lee for Fernandez and Miles doesn't make any sense. Plus the Blazers owe him 9 million next season since he play over 10 games last season with Memphis. Miles is a free agent currently.

Don't wanna trade Lee really. He's quality with flaws and has a great perspective.

Nate on the other hand is not a point guard, he's a smurf, he shoots first when he shouldn't, his decision making has always been questionable, at 5'9" how on earth can he be a mediocre passer? It's because he's point hungry and it just won't work out. He's good, I like him, but I can't see why you're so enamored by him. He's not gonna be a decisive piece in any scenario unless he's the 6th man.

Not hatin', just ratin'.

Hell no to big baby, are you serious?

Good scenerio

I love this scenario....we get a good PF back by not spending too much on Davis if we can hopefully get him...and with Rudy Fernandez and Miles wanting out of Portland due to no playing time, they would be good players on this team....especially Rudy.

Sounds good.

HELL NO

I'd rather take Leon Powe.

Chris Anderson is a beast, he'd be awesome here.

Bird aint coming here as much as id love that.....

I dont want Big baby. He does something David lee does (takes too many jumpshots) and doesnt rebound much.

I dont want Darius Miles, period. dont care when he expires, i dont want him here.

If we can get Rudy Fernandez, that would be great. Shit i know what im about to say will be unlikely, but Joel Pryzbilla would be the shit.

Let Fat Baby Davis stay in Boston or go to another team.

just heard baby is close to signing a deal with the spurs for near the full mid-level

No retarded Bostonian will ever succeed in NY. The list goes on forever..Pedro?, Johnny Damon?,.....F Boston and their Sport and let them keep those disgusting players up there...

At least The Patriots went 18-1 two years ago....:afro:

I respect Davis's game, but he's not worth acquiring at the expense of Lee.

johnny damon is actually beating right now lol

if we could get birdman i would definitely not resign lee

Hell, at this point, it looks like Donnie's hanging David out to dry.

I mean, look at it. The Blazers seem to want Odom over Lee. The Raptors took Hedo. The Rockets have Ariza. Detroit got Villanueva. The Grizzlies got Z-Bo. No other team seems to want David Lee at all.

Let's be honest here. If guys like 'Sheed and Artest are getting paid the MLE, there's no way David Lee deserves more than they do...

Well, if Lee doesn't get the $10m he wants, he might have to "settle" for $7m/per from the Knicks. I think the Knicks definitely want him at that price. I don't think he's a $10m player anyway.
