Glen Davis entered the offseason as a restricted free agent with hopes of signing for the midlevel exception. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be -- the harsh economic climate has made it difficult for established stars to find that kind of money on the free agent contract, let alone a power forward averse to rebounding.As the Celtics made moves to strengthen their front court, signing Rasheed Wallace and Shelden Williams, it began to look like they were prepared to move on without Big Baby, but that's apparently not the case. As reported by Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski on Friday night (and confirmed by the Herald and Globe this morning), Davis is close to signing a two-year deal to remain in Boston. According to the Herald, the deal may include a player option for a third season.

Garnett coming back, Rasheed Wallace, Shelden Williams...how does 10 mins a game sound? One more player listening to his agent-like Ariza, Odom and now big baby- who gets an inflated sense of self worth and comes crawling back for any offer. Maan , these guys need to fire these agents.

When you consider the young age of Davis and the advanced ages of the "Big 3" and Rasheed, I think it's a very smart move for Davis to stay where he is. His importance will keep increasing as these other players wear out, lose speed, lose skills. On the Celtics, he (along with Rondo) could be the nucleus of the team in a couple of years.

If you don't read the headline carefully, you'd think Glenn Close signed a deal with the Celtics.
