pThe a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/BOS class=sbn-auto-linkCeltics/a re-signed Davis this summer to a two-year contract worth $6.3 million. The Boston Globe reported that owner Wyc Grousbeck is considering suspending Davis for his actions./p pWyc has been on the warpath for two days over this, a league source told Yahoo! Sports.

But Spears is a good reporter, so I see no reason not to believe him. nbsp; nbsp;However, comments such as those above really smack of exaggerated rumors based on some small grain of truth (such as they made less money last year than the championship season). nbsp;nbsp;/p pa rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ufb1dMbzj86mRI28pW83h19gO-g/0/daimg src=http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ufb1dMbzj86mRI28pW83h19gO-g/0/di border=0 ismap/abr/ a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ufb1dMbzj86mRI28pW83h19gO-g/1/daimg src=http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Ufb1dMbzj86mRI28pW83h19gO-g/1/di border=0 ismap/a/p
