Celtics Offered BBD, Pruitt & Giddens for Maxiell


Via Marc Spears:

The Celtics have said they would match any reasonable offer for Davis. The Detroit Pistons, New Orleans Hornets and Portland Trail Blazers,
league sources said, tried to work a sign-and-trade deal for Davis only
to be rebuffed by the Celtics. Boston did offer Davis and guards
J.R. Giddens and Gabe Pruitt to the Pistons for forward Jason Maxiell and a first-round pick, but was quickly turned down.

That sounds like a fair trade to me. I'm sure Pistons fans are laughing as they read this, but they overvalue Maxiell. We heard Natalie from Need4Sheed.com say so during The Two Man Show.

They're both undersized big men. BBD is a much better offensive player, while Maxiell is the better defender. Although Rondo didn't think much of him as he soared to the rim in that YouTube clip. I'd rather have Davis.

Spears also reports the Nets interest in Glen Davis.
