Done Deal: Marquis Daniels to Boston

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.
