The Orlando Magic have acquired 25-year old power forward Glen “Big Baby” Davis from the Boston Celtics for 26-year old power forward Brandon Bass. Davis played in 78 games (13 starts) for the Celtics last year and he averaged 29.5 minutes, 11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 steal per game. He has now played in 277 games (31 starts) in his first four years in the NBA and he is averaging 21.0 minutes, 7.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. Brandon Bass played in 76 games (51 starts) for the Magic last year and he averaged 26.1 minutes, 11.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. This was likely a move made in an attempt to keep Dwight Howard around for longer than this year, as he wanted the Magic to get Davis.
UPDATE: (12/10/2011) – The Orlando Magic have also acquired 26-year old shooting guard Von Wafer in this deal. Wafer played in 58 games (2 starts) for the Celtics last year and he averaged 9.5 minutes, 3.2 points, 0.8 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. He has now played in 167 games (13 starts) in his NBA career and he is averaging 12.0 minutes, 5.1 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. He signed a three year deal before he was dealt to the Magic and he will help them off the bench.
