Via Marc Spears of Yahoo!: The Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers will likely decide by the end of the week whether guard Marquis Daniels will receive Boston’s $1.99 million biannual exception or come to the team via a sign-and-trade deal. A sign-and-trade would allow the Celtics to save their biannual exception and potentially give Daniels [...]

Here's what's going on: Brian Scalabrine will not be part of any sign-and-trade with the Indianapolis Pacers. Indy Cornrows blogger Tom Lewis (citing a Pacers beat writer) broke this news to us last night during our Two Man Game show. Despite rumors that Marbury is leaning towards resigning with the Celtics, Marc Spears tweets that [...]

The newest episode of "The Two Man Game" is all set.  Joining us on the show tonight at 9pm will be Tom from IndyCornrows.  Tom's had a first-hand look at Marquis Daniels, so he's going to join us to talk about what the C's and C's fans can expect. Then at 9:30, Jeff Clark from [...]

It's pretty much a done deal for Matt Barnes to go to Orlando.  The need for Boston to sign him was eliminated by the Marquis Daniels (eventual) acquisition… but the calls for Boston to sign Barnes by esteemed reader Nick have been among the most entertaining things to read (and hear) this month.  The good [...]

This is a pretty extensive "Getting to know…" interview with Marquis Daniels last year. Couple of cool things he talks about:  What it's like to be a dad… how special it was buying his mom a house and a car… and how not being drafted allowed him to see who his true friends were, and [...]

Reading through the comments here and elsewhere, I think Celtics fans are universally psyched about Marquis Daniels.  One of the best parts about the deal is the potential for a sign and trade involving Tony Allen and Brian Scalabrine.  Scal makes $3.4 million and TA makes $2.5… which conveniently add up to the mid-level exception [...]

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 [...]

Fanhouse is reporting the Celtics are in talks to acquire Marquis Daniels in a sign-and-trade.  One of the names being discussed as part of the sign-and-trade is Celtics power forward Brian Scalabrine, who is going into the final year of his contract making $3.5 million. The sign-and-trade would allow the Celtics to pay him more [...]

Just throwing names out there as they become available.  The latest one, according to the Indy Star (via FanHouse), is Marquis Daniels.  He has a $7.5 million team option… which the team will not pick up.  So the 6’6″, 200 lb Daniels is now available.  I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t sign him.  I’m [...]
