I missed this juicy tidbit in Steve Bulpett’s latest column:
In this market, the Celtics have wares to offer. Tayshaun Prince, Brandon Bass and Marcus Thornton can all be had, and, while it’s hard to picture another club wanting to take on 32-year-old Gerald Wallace with $10.1 million left on his contract for 2015-16, at least one team in the Western Conference mix has been asking questions about him.
Thus far, NBA sources have said that teams speaking to the Celts have tried to make lowball offers with, of course, no success. That situation is expected to change as Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline nears. At least that’s what the Celtics have to be hoping.
I didn’t think it was possible to lowball the Celtics when discussing Gerald Wallace. I assumed Danny Ainge shouted, “DEAL” the moment anyone mentioned Gerald’s name.
Meanwhile, Woj has an update on what Utah is seeking for Enes Kanter:
Executives say Utah has significant threshold for Enes Kanter deal – including young player, 1st rounder, etc – but several teams pursuing.

Good luck. If Danny really wants Kanter, he can keep the assets and outbid them during free-agency.
