Should the Celtics Stiff Daniels and Hold on to their Expiring Contracts?

NESN seems to think so.

The argument appears to be that it is better for the Celtics to wait for the mid-season trade deadline and look for someone like James Posey, who might be dealt to save money. It is an interesting idea. My concern would be that Marquis Daniels may remind us too much of A) Tony Allen (injury-prone and inconsistent); and B) Mikki Moore (over-hyped and under-performing).

Still, I'm inclined to take the gamble, given the flattering reviews Daniels received both before and after the deal from non-Celtics fans around the league. The Celtics can always deal him for someone else mid-season if it doesn't work out.
