Darn! But I guess Danny sees some value in having an expiring contract to play with come Feb trade deadline?????

Who says DA is the one that didn't pull the trigger?
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that bass has no value such that DA can't give him awy.  In other words, while gs could have bad him for nothing, it wasn't worth it to them to pay his salary.

Bass has plenty of value to contending teams and he now is in his last year of his contract.
If this were true, he'd have been traded a long time ago.

How do you know what's going on in negotiations? The teams interested probably offered Danny junk. Danny isn't going to trade Bass for the sake of trading him.

Neither of us know.  But the current rumor says bass for the tpe.  And I believe that GS said no. 

But mostly, I see bass as just a guy.  A team might take him for free but probably not if they have to pay his salary.

Which is an expiring contract. Danny was probably trying to pry a first rounder out of GSW, which they probably replied: "too rich for my blood".

Wizards just got an $8.5 million trade exception. Maybe Pierce could talk them into trading for Bass.

Seems like there's some context missing.

Yeah, James held up NBA business for 11 days while he decided his future. Teams were angry. Some had assets that evaporated during the wait, including the Warriors, who considered Brandon Bass and other names in exchange for a trade exception that expired yesterday at midnight. But everyone takes time to mull hard professional decisions. Those are times to be careful, to bounce ideas off of everyone in your inner circle. LeBron inconvenienced the league, but it was just that — an inconvenience — and smart teams did whatever business they could in the interim.

In the Ariza trade.

I just can't see Celtics being able to make serious moves till all these support cast that was with KG and Pierce are traded off along with Wallace.  Then we'll have room to sign serious talent .

Serious talent goes for big cap room.  Max or near max contracts .

The Celtics are just choked down with surplus role players ....Green , Bass , Wallace , JA..etc

if the teams offered Danny junk, then he doesn't have plenty of value to contending teams, because you don't have junk for someone of value.  If Bass had any sort of value he would have been traded already.  Now at the trade deadlilne I'm sure he could be traded as an expiring contract where Boston takes on longer and/or crappier contracts, but then Bass' value is merely as an expiring contract and not as a player.

Was Ariza a S&T to Houston?

That would be odd.

This is hilarious. Did the Warriors really think they were going to land LeBron, Bosh, or Wade? Let's not pretend this is somehow LeBron's fault and not just poor team management.
