There is still hope that the Celtics will offer him a deal that would allow him to remain there, his agent and camp will also field other teams offers as well. One team that may begin to draw interest in Davis is the Oklahoma City Thunder. Davis would compliment the current young core of players already in OKC, and they would be able to offer him a contract in the price range he is expecting.
In other news, the Pistons have brought back a staple of their glory years from earlier in the decade. Veteran center Ben Wallace has re-signed with the team on a one year, $1.3 million dollar deal.
