The Boston Celtics announced today that the club has re-signed forward Glen Davis to a contract. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. “Glen has been a big part of our success for the past two years and we are very excited to have him back,” said Danny Ainge, Celtics President of Basketball Operations. Davis, a 6’9”, 289 lbs, forward has spent two seasons with the Celtics and had a breakout 2008-09 season in which he averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. The former LSU Tiger continued his breakout campaign in the 2009 playoffs during which he averaged 15.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game. Davis made 16 starts during the 2008-09 regular season and averaged 12.6 points and 5.6 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game. “Big Baby” scored a career-high 24 points against the Memphis Grizzlies on March 21, 2009. Davis also hit the biggest shot of his career to date when he nailed a game-winning jumper against the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals to send the series back to Boston tied 2-2. During the First Round of the 2009 playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, Davis averaged 18.1 points and 6.7 rebounds.

After a meeting today with Rasheed Wallace, his agent, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett and Danny Ainge, the C's offered 'Sheed a contract today...UGH.

I guess my plea fell on deaf ears this morning. What's that all about Danny? I thought you were an avid reader and listened to everything I had to say.

Well at least Timmy and Scotty would be fired up...although Rasheed says he is not in any rush to make any decisions. I can't imagine a trip to play with Lebron and Shaq in Cleveland wouldn't be pretty inticing to him.

Thought we'd share a couple of great links that we found on weei.com.

They've got two great pieces on baseball, one from Curt Schilling on Donald Fehr, the former head of the MLBPA, you can read it here.The other baseball story is a great one from Alex Speier on the Sox draft which you can find here.

The one thing that really peaked our interest today though was the interview that Dennis and Callahan did with Danny Ainge who had some interesting things to say about Rajon Rondo. Listen to it here.We'll certainly be discussing this interview on TNA tomorrow night!!

Great stuff here people, check it all out.

Aparently the stock for Eddie House and Tony Allen didn't rise as fast as that of James Posey. Both Celtics reserves signed 2 year deals with the team, both estimated to be worth $2 million per year. Maybe I didn't get Danny Ainge enough credit last week, but I am still on the fence. GET ME THEM RINGS DANNY!!!


More on this story tonight on Wicked Pissa Dude Radio.

James Posey's agent announced today that the most coveted of all free agents on the market, James Posey has signed a deal with the New Orlean's Hornets for $25 mil.

This begs the question, has Danny Ainge earned our respect enough for us not to question his judgement? I don't know. I mean if Belichick or Theo make a move, no one in the Boston area will ever question it. We might be pissed if Manny leaves after this year, but if Theo said it was the right thing, we would agree.

In this case though, can we really give Danny a pass? I don't think so. He made what, a couple of good moves last year? I know I know, he's a god for bringing KG and Ray Ray in along with the other role players, but that's ONE season. If he does it consistently and makes moves that will keep us contenders for an extended amount of time, then he'll earn that right. For now, Mr. Ainge, talk to me at the end of the 2008-2009 season when we have ring #2 and you will have Theo/Billy status, but until then get on the free agent market my friend and find a replacement for Posey.

As for Posey, James, you weren't a Celtic for nearly long enough. You were a superstah in our eyes and we will be forever greatful for the things that you did to help us win Banner #17. Go ahead man, get your money. Enjoy NO and maybe we'll see you in the playoffs...probably not.
