Celtics Trading Big Baby For Brandon Bass (UPDATED)


"According to a league source, the Cs are in discussions with Orlando to send Big Baby, in a sign-and-trade deal, to Orlando for power forward Brandon Bass - a player Magic management had been very high on at one stage.

In addition, the Celtics are pursuing Chris Wilcox, a journeyman big man who played with Detroit last season. The team is also finalizing a trade for Bucks guard Keyon Dooling and a second round draft pick. The Cs will only trade the rights to Albert Morales - a player they have held the rights to for the last five years (CelticsBlog)."

Bass averaged 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 26.1 minutes, and 51.5 percent field-goal shooting (all career-highs last season). I love everything about this deal. Big Baby was a good player, but he is fucked up in the head, and you just can't trust a guy like that. Bass is actually an inch shorter then Davis, but is a better rebounder. Bass is due $8 million over the next two seasons, which makes him a very affordable contributor.

***UPDATE***

This trade has been confirmed by Yahoo sports. Great move by the Celtics.
