Celtics acquire Perry Jones III from the Thunder

[JHTruth]

PJ3 is awful. Guy doesn't seem to care about basketball. Sad because he has real talent. I wasn't even mad about drafting Melo over him. A guy with his talent dropping that far just sucks I'm sorry

I don't like this trade in order for this organization to be successful if danny is not able to trade all of these picks these picks have to be given a chance to succeed. Granted this is summer league but that's what we have to work with. Fact of the matter is Jordan Mickey is ranked 10th best overall this summer league. Think this team would be in a different spot had they drafted DeAndre Jordan instead of J.R. Giddens If Perry Jones means Jordan Mickey don't make the team that's a shame and a problem.  If you prove your worthy you gotta get a chance. http://www.nba.com/2015/news/features/scott_howard_cooper/07/14/rookie-ladder-after-day-4-in-las-vegas/index.html?ls=iref:nbahpt3a is nothing short of INCREDIBLE Anybody remember malcom butler Tom Brady 6th round pick where are the spurs without manu? Come on guys give the kid a chance hes done nothing worthy of being on the maine redclaws so far as far as im concerned he should be on the opening day starting lineup if he continues this throughout preseason it might be Mickey that Blocks LeBrons game winning shot in game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals the potential is unlimited unless of course we make trades like this to stunt Jordans Growth

It is frightening the amount of talent that Ainge is giving Stevens to work with this off season.
14 man rotation coming up.

This is a nice move. It reminds me of the Evan Turner signing. It'll cost the team nothing if he's bad and if he's good then we got another good young player.

Green Teamers celebrate every move that's an obvious loss as a win.

I disagree.  I'm not saying this move in particular but when you get something for nothing, you usually get what you pay for.

Green Teamers love Danny Ainge moves. It's awful really when the only true move to do when you're on the treadmill is liquidate your "assets" of role players and tank.

We've been "on the treadmill" for literally one season, really more like half a season as we had a bottom 8 record before we closed 24-12.

Plus, if PJIII is as terrible as you say, he'll make our team worse, which is supposedly what you want.  So what's the problem?

Please explain how this is a loss.

I cannot fathom a way where this is a loss.

It's a solid trade because there is no risk but let's not make this into some genius move. Over optimism and over pessimism both make equally no sense.

[BornReady]

I want to say this is a good move
But despite the potential and what not , jones stats are very low for someone of his physical abilities
He had a good stretch last season where Durante and Westbrook were out
But after awhile his stats fell back to his average

I don't like this move if Holmes or mickey don't end up on our roster

I think a trade may be needed to clear our depth for some assets

TP. Very well said.
The over reactions on CB are comical at the best of times.

[Fred Roberts]

Absolutely love this move, even if it doesn't work out.

The kid is 23 years old.

He will have much better coaching, and more opportunity, in Boston. Brad can find a way to leverage the best skills of each player, and Perry has multiple skills going for him.

6'10" and a quarter in bare feet? Awesome. We need length and scoring. PJIII is as good a flier as you'll find, plus he's young.
