Your Daily Big Baby Update and a Mixed Offering

By: Greg Payne

It's really quick, I promise. The New Jersey Nets are now interested in Glen Davis, according to Yahoo! Sports and now the Globe.

Now this, from the New York Post:

Several Nets sources confirmed the team's interest in Davis, but all agreed the chances of landing the Celtics restricted free agent are unlikely.

BUT, I did find this interesting. Here's what Marc Spears reported yesterday:

Boston did offer Davis and guards J.R. Giddens(notes) and Gabe Pruitt(notes) to the Pistons for forward Jason Maxiell(notes) and a first-round pick, but was quickly turned down.

And here's what Frank Dell'Apa of the Globe wrote today:
The yahoo.com report indicated the Pistons offered a sign-and-trade deal that would have sent Davis, J.R. Giddens, and Gabe Pruitt to Detroit in exchange for Jason Maxiell and a first-round pick but the Celtics declined.

So who exactly did the offering? I'm tempted to say the Pistons took the initiative here, because I honestly can't see Ainge giving up those three guys for just Maxiell and a draft pick, especially when Pruitt and Giddens could be major players in a potential sign-and-trade with the Pacers to formally acquire Marquis Daniels.

Stay Tuned.
