Marquis Daniels has seen enough to know that he likes where he is.

In spite of spending the majority of his one-year contract on the sidelines with a thumb injury, Daniels already knows he would like to re-sign with the Celtics this summer.

“The locker room is great, it’s a great atmosphere, the coaching staff, everything is good,” he told WEEI.com prior to the Celtics – Heat game, despite a recent claim from Rajon Rondo that the team was having chemistry issues. “So it’s something that I’d like to be part of. Hopefully it will work out. If not, then I have to deal with everything that happens.”

Daniels likes the winning mentality of the Celtics community, from his teammates to the coaching staff, front office to the fans. The city’s winning tradition is something he would like to remain a part of.

At the same time, he has a very realistic outlook on his current situation. He knows what he can control and what is out of his hands. While he is eager to get back on the court (he has missed 27 games and hopes play before the All-Star break), he isn’t dwelling on the fact that he hasn’t been able to.

“There’s no frustrations. It’s part of the game,” he said. “I just go out there and play. I can’t worry about trying to do more than what you’re supposed to because that’s when you start playing bad and making things worse for yourself. I’ve just got to go out there and do what I do, and that’s playing defense, getting guys open, and doing my job. That’s the only thing I have to worry about.”

Daniels won’t get caught up in the length of future contracts, either. So whether he is offered another one-year deal or something longer than that, he’ll stick with doing his job and let everyone else do their own.

“I don’t think about stuff like that,” he said. “I worry about things that I can control, and that’s not one of them. I just go out there and play. I can control how I play when I get out there. As far as what someone wants to do, as far as deal-wise, I let my agent and the front office talk about that.”
