Marquis Daniels Joins Boston

In Boston  the whole is greater than the sum of the individual parts and by landing swingman Marquis Daniels as a back up that truth remains the same.

Free-agent guard Marquis Daniels has committed to signing with the Celtics, according to a league source. Daniels, 28, will receive the biannual exception contract worth $1.9 million, unless a sign-and-trade deal can be worked out with his former team, the Pacers.

Daniels, expected to be used as a backup for Ray Allen and Paul Pierce, averaged 13.6 points and 4.6 rebounds last season for Indiana.

Acquiring Daniels is one of those small things smart teams do, that end up making a difference late in the season and I really like this move. If the Celtics can stay healthy and finish with home court advantage in the early rounds of the eastern conference playoffs, tings can gwaan!
