Updates, Updates, Updates

Here's the latest from the Herald on the Marquis Daniels business:

The Celtics’ attempt to sign free agent Marquis Daniels - a deal they have attempted to facilitate with a sign-and-trade arrangement with Indiana - has hit a snag.

The Pacers are reportedly dissatisfied with what the Celtics are offering - with the primary bait said to be guard Tony Allen and possibly Gabe Pruitt.

As a result, according to a source close to negotiations, the Celtics and Indiana are now searching for a third team to make the trade work.

And as for Leon Powe receiving an offer from the Cavs, Bob Finnan, a beat writer from Cleveland, posted on his Twitter that no such offer has been made.

The Herald also reports that no talks have surfaced between Boston and New Jersey, regarding a sign-and-trade with Glen Davis and Yi Jianlian.

Though the Celtics have attempted to include restricted free agent Glen Davis in several sign-and-trade deals with other teams, sources with the Celtics and New Jersey both shot down a rumor this morning that both teams were attempting to make such an arrangement work.
Oh, these rumors. When so many are shot down, you almost have to wonder where these "sources" are actually getting their information. Oh well, I suppose it causes for some talk and debate if nothing else.

Stay Tuned.
