Glen DavisGlen 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.
