LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog: Fiddlin' and Diddlin'

Herald Celtics deny Corey Maggette offer
FL's Take: Making offers to Posey and Maggette didn't make sense. It makes more sense if they just contacted him as a feel out process in case Posey doesn't sign. But even if they did sign Maggette, he wouldn't fill Posey's shoes. Posey is a defensive stopper who is willing to do the dirty work. Maggette's value is in his offensive game. Defense wins games. Defense wins championships. Go for the defenfers Danny.
J.R. Giddens on way home
FL's Take: This is a bad move on Giddens' part. He was the 30th pick, not the 1st pick. He needs to do what he can to be sure he makes the team. I think he may have a chance to play this season and may even make an impact. But, sitting out camp isn't the way to start. All over the league, lottery picks are preparing for summer league teams without a contract. Bad advice from his agent.

Celtics.com Summer School: Davis plans to camp out in Waltham
FL's Take: Good to hear that Big Baby's attitude and priorities are in the right spot. Hopefully all that work will get him in shape and he will be even better this next coming season.
Pruitt looks to make leap in second year
FL's Take: I think the Celtics can go with Pruitt as back up and Eddie House as third point guard. He can back up the 2 and play point if needed. Pruitt should be able to back up Rondo.
CelticsBlog Birdman cometh?
FL's Take: I sure hope they can get him. I think he would be the perfect back up for Perk.

FL's Take: The Lakers didn't have anyone who could stop Paul Pierce and they seem to have found the perfect solution. Go after James Posey. Who better to stop Pierce than the guy who played with him and against him every day in practice. Whatever the Celtics do, they have to keep Posey away from the Lakers.

FL's Take: I would love to see Pistol Pete playing today. He is one of my all time favorites and he was way ahead of his time. He would be right in his element today. The man was a magician with the basketball.
