Marc Spears… now a Yahoo employee… has the story.
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.
In my opinion… this is better than any of the other options we've been talking about. This is a great signing. He can back up the 2 and 3… and even the point in a pinch.
The details of a potential sign-and-trade apparently still need to be worked out… so stay tuned for the final details.
