You know the old saying: Shoot for the moon, because even if you miss you’ll still land among Reggie Evans.Evans isn’t phenomenal. He probably wouldn’t lead your local YMCA rec league in scoring average. But he does one thing better than almost everybody else in the world, and that one thing happens to be one of Boston’s biggest weaknesses from last season: rebounding. He’s not David West, but he’d help if he’s willing to accept the mini mid-level.P.S. — If you are an available power forward, chances are that Danny Ainge is staking out your house and calling your agent 782 times per day.

Danny Ainge made a valid bid to get David West in a Celtics uniform but West ultimately wanted more money. The Celtics were offering in the neighborhood of $8.4 million per year. My guess is that when a guy like West sees DeAndre Jordan get an offer sheet of $10 million per year, he and his agent had to reconsider what Boston was able to offer.
The failed acquisition of West should...

With the news that the Lakers are out of the Chris Paul hunt and that they've shifted to acquiring Dwight Howard (which they will thanks to the NBA owners idiotic vetoing of the original CP3 deal) expect Danny Ainge to make another strong push for CP3.
We already know the cost for CP3's buddy David West is Jermaine O'Neal and JaJuan Johnson.
