Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic Trade Glen Davis, Brandon Bass

UPDATE: Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports the teams have agreed upon a trade. The Boston Celtics will sign-and-trade Glen Davis to the Orlando Magic for Brandon Bass.

The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics are discussing a sign-and-trade deal involving Boston sending Glen Davis to Orlando for Brandon Bass in a swap of power forwards, reports the Boston Herald. Davis, an unrestricted free agent who's spent his entire four-year career with the Celtics, would sign a new contract with Boston and then immediately be flipped to Orlando for Bass.

Davis, who turns 26 on New Year's Day, has averaged 7.6 points and 4.1 rebounds on 44.9 percent shooting. He arrived in Boston along with Ray Allen on the night of the 2007 NBA Draft. Listed at 6-foot-9 and 289 pounds, his ubiquitous nickname--Big Baby--is easily understood. Davis is regarded for his energy and hustle.

Bass enjoyed a career-best season with Orlando in 2010/11, his sixth in the NBA, transitioning to a full-time starter for the first time in his professional career following the Magic's trade of Rashard Lewis to the Washington Wizards. Though undersized for a power forward, Bass provides toughness, a surprisingly smooth mid-range jumper, and uncanny offensive rebounding ability. He averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 26.1 minutes, and 51.5 percent field-goal shooting--all career-highs--last season.

In November, the Herald reported--in a post that's since been archived--that Davis' representation had targeted Orlando as one possible destination for him. Other teams in the report include the Atlanta Hawks, Denver Nuggets, Detroit Pistons, New Jersey Nets, and possibly the New Orleans Hornets.

Never understood that one. Or some of the others, like Anthony Morrow.

Just seems so random. Not sure what Dwight’s logic is, but it’s definitely preferable to him begging for all star “help” like some people.

by Jtyler998 on Dec 9, 2011 12:35 PM EST up reply actions  

Maybe Dwight just wants to be THE MAN of the team when we win a championship

Seriously, you can put in any 4 players with him in the lineup, and it virtually guarantees at least 50 wins (except this year, of course)

If the Magic must trade Dwight to the Lakers, the trade better include Gilbert Arenas as well. I want the Lakers to suffer.

Anthony Morrow! WTF?! Thats like Chris Paul saying “I’ll re-sign if you get Ian Mahimi.” Super random. I wonder if they are part of the same sports agency.

Anthony Morrow is good.

Why is everyone hating. Watched him here at Tech and he got a lot better after moving onto the NBA. He’s more of a role player type guy coming of the bench though. Dont forget he also used to play with Golden State.

by asharp12587 on Dec 9, 2011 1:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Morrow is a good player.

But you have to admit, he stands out on a wish list of teammates. Just like Stephen Jackson and Glenn Davis. Howard has unusual taste. I mean, why not DWade and Bosh?

"We won't placate Howard" my butt! LOL

This is a crappy trade, talent-wise. Bass is stronger and has better stats across the board. But hopefully his energy will help out on the court, and since he WAS on the Howard wish-list, it might help on that front as well.

Davis

Can play center which helps and is a better defense imho and as an energy guy is a better fit for svg

by dukenilnil on Dec 9, 2011 12:54 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Bass played backup Center for a lot of last season.

They are both undersized, Bass @ 6’8" and Davis @ 6’9" — but Bass is strong as an ox and super durable.

I do like the energy, though. Something the Magic were sorely lacking. He’ll be good coming off the bench for Anderson — assuming that they do that rather than start him. It’ll be curious to see how that works.

What if Big Baby is what is needed to keep Dwight?

Plus, Big Baby can play PF (either starting or backup) and backup center, AND he was an important contributor to a championship team.

I think it is a decent trade where both teams benefit.

Also, I cannot see Memphis actually wanting Bass.

I think that’s one of the biggest reasons Howard liked the idea of playing with him. A high-energy guy that’s been there.

I'm sure they would make allowances due to the circumstances of a shorten season

I would assume that anyway. Then again, the league just blocked a trade just because, so all bets are off at this point on what the rules are.

I like Bass and Davis. Each had different strengths. Bass was a bit of a black hole though so it helps ball movement and gives us a solid backup center

by dukenilnil on Dec 9, 2011 12:49 PM EST via mobile reply actions   1 recs

Think this is a great move

we need someone that plays with some passion, plus Davis is the kind of guy that’s not going to let Howard get smacked around all the time without him giving a little payback. Plus Howard wants him, seems good enough for me.

Ehh...

Its ok. One thing that is good about this trade is that Big Bay can guard some centers; something the Magic lacked when Dwight was out of the game.

Both guys are pretty equal but I like Baby’s energy more. Just as long as he doesn’t knock anyone down in the front row…

Davis is an upgrade in my opinion

The stats may or may not show it, but he was outgrowing his role in Boston. He’ll be a great forward to put next to Howard and I would have no qualms with him starting or playing minutes at the 4 or 5 off the bench with Anderson as a starter.

I don't agree.

He isn’t good defensively as Bass, which isn’t saying much. And he doesn’t have the offensive game that Bass has either. I don’t think this trade our team any better, other than it will keep Dwight in town longer.

Very possible that it only keeps him happy short term,

but at least it’s something. Everyone is just standing around crying constantly that Orlando isn’t doing things to appease Howard, they do something that Howard says would make him happy and people still complain.

I hated it at first but....

1. Dwight wanted him…. don’t know why, but if he wants him, I’m ok with that.
2. He’s not a black hole like Bass was. He will pass the ball a lot more, which will help keep the offense flowing.
3. He puts forth more energy that Bass does.
4. He can handle the ball better than Bass… less turnovers.
5. He’s a little bigger than Bass.
6. Their stats don’t tell the whole story. Bass started for us, while Davis came off the bench.

I don’t know if this marks an automatic promotion to Anderson, or if the starting position is up for grabs at training camp…

I don't think Dwight was a big Brandon Bass fan anyway.

Maybe I’m the only one who saw it. When Brandon failed to get Dwight the ball in the post and instead decided to go score himself, Dwight seemed frustrated. Eventually he realized Bass couldn’t pass the ball and would just get out of the way. Not sure Dwight will miss him.

Davis is a better defender, a better rebounder, and has better ball handling skills. I know that ball handling is not the first thing you think of when looking at a power forward but it can help turn rebounds into transition baskets and lower turnovers.

Not a bad pick up.

They have a cerebral offense, just as (if not more) sophisticated than Orlando’s. Have fun trying to get Bass to operate within the system unless they plan on their bench to just freestyle when they’re in the game. Then Bass fits perfectly.

Von Wafer just tweeted

“Superman don’t leave, I just got here”

sorry for not doing this in one post

If Von Wafer can return to the player he was 2-3 years ago, I’d be stoked…I believe he was on Houston when I thought he was pretty good and athletic

Wait what?

Hmmm. Magic getting all their minimum vets. Please let the rumors of a three team trade be real. Seriously Iguodala is all we need. Dwight is mother freaking good that all he needs is a legit second banana. That is our problem, we have the other bananas and role players etc. we just don’t have that number two. Please Basketball gods please answer our prayers!
