Danny Uses the 'M' Word as the Door Closes on the Gabe Pruitt Era

"We like Gabe but he was not going to get a chance to play much with Marquis (Daniels) coming in," Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. "He has a bright future and this will give him a chance to play elsewhere."

I believe this is the first time anyone on TEAM GREEN has ever mentioned Mr. Daniels out loud in the presence of a reporter.

I think what is the more important piece of information that can be extracted from Danny's comments is that it seems he invisions Marquis playing some backup point guard since that was Gabe's position. This is huge. Might mean that Danny is no longer looking for a back up point guard. Marquis might find his minutes at the 1 and 2, rather than the 2 and 3, especially if Bowen comes onboard.
