Via the Memphis Commercial Appeal:Boston tried to entice the Grizzlies twice. The Celtics offered Brian Scalabrine, Tony
Allen and a choice of J.R. Giddens or Bill Walker for the Grizzlies' 36th pick
and cash considerations.The Celtics' best offer for the Grizzlies' No. 2 pick
only included center Kendrick Perkins.We've heard the Perk for #2 rumor before, and I still doubt its legitimacy. But I wonder who Danny Ainge wanted to grab at #36. Here's a look at the guys who went in that area of the 2nd round:
Sam Young
DeJuan Blair
Jon Brockman
Derrick Brown
Jodie Meeks
Patrick Beverley
Your guess is as good as mine...

and we know everything about him — all the good and the bad that comes
with a 23-year-old kid who’s been put in a pressure kicker,” said
Ainge...

As Mavs radio play-by-play man Chuck Cooperstein pointed out, the 6-2, 182-pound Beaubois physically has a lot of similarities with Rajon Rondo.

Glen Davis is still renting a home in Waltham and hopes to return to the team that he began his NBA career with two years ago. The Celtics also hope that the fan favorite who helped keep them afloat without an injured Kevin Garnett is back, and they have a trump card to ensure that it happens, too.
