Glen Davis earned himself a lot of money with his playoff performances... or so we thought. After a lot of talk about Big Baby generating big interest, there's word that the Spurs would rather have Antonio McDyess... and the Magic don't like him much either.
I'm surprised by the reaction by some fans when it comes to Baby. A Spurs fan friend of mine told me flat out... he doesn't want Glen Davis. I think he'd be a fine addition to most teams. Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don't Lie likes the idea of Baby on the Spurs.
Personally... I like the idea of lower interest in Davis. That drives his price down and makes it more likely the C's will be able to match an offer. However, if they don't want to pay Baby... but they want to keep the "pudgy" quotient high... they can probably sign Mike Sweetney.
Also in that first Globe link... Lester Hudson was pretty good yesterday.
“His quickness and speed are really good and I thought he did a good job in transition,’’ assistant coach Mike Longabardi said.
“Each day he plays, more and more he’s going to get accustomed to what to expect in an NBA game. For a first Summer League game, he was pretty good.’’
The next summer league game is today at 3pm. I'm going to assume Celtics.com will have a link for the live stream up... but you can definitely find one on the Magic site. Just fair warning... you've got one camera angle that makes it hard to see everyone or get a feel for the game at all. But the announcers are kinda funny so it'll make for good goofing off at work.
