An NBA source said the Celtics are working to clear roster space over the next few weeks in order to make room for Evan Turner in the rotation. The Celtics aren’t expected to announce the signing until those moves are made, although the sides have reached an agreement. The Celtics have 18 players on their roster, including the nonguaranteed deals of Keith Bogans, Chris Babb, and Chris Johnson.

The Celtics really like Johnson’s work ethic, but he averaged just 6.6 points in the five summer league games and shot 30.6 percent from the field and 18.8 percent from the 3-point line. The fact Johnson and Babb each played in all five games was a testament that team officials were taking a long look as to whether they would make a contribution next season. The Celtics would love to use Bogans’s contract in a trade that would perhaps net a draft pick and create salary-cap space and have been holding onto that option. It is uncertain if the Celtics would waive Bogans before the season or offer a camp invitation since he has been away from the team since February.

More than likely Babb, Johnson, and Bogans are.

Getting rid of Babb Johnson and Bogans doesn't clear up playing time.  Turner would still be behind Green and Wallace (or at least he would compete with Wallace).  Besides, they don't have to try to clear Johnson, bogans, and Babb, they can just cut them.  It would seem they are trying to do something else.  If they can't then I think you see the end of the roster let go.

Makes no sense.  Cutting players 15 thru 18 has NOTHING to do with putting Turner in the ROTATION.
