Sources: Perry Jones headed to the Celtics
Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald reports that the Celtics will receive Pery Jones III, a second round pick, and cash from Oklahoma City. It appears this is just a salary dump for the Thunder.
What It Means:
In 43 games, Perry Jones III average 4.3 points, 1.8 and 0.6 turnovers in 14 minutes of play while finishing third worst on the team with a -2.3 nERD.
After the additions of David Lee and Amir Johnson, Jones III is now the third forward the Celtics acquired this offseason. Jones will probably face some difficulty finding the floor this upcoming season under Brad Stevens as Amir Johnson, David Lee, Jared Sullinger, and Jonas Jerebko, who combined for an impressive 8.7 nERD last season, will consume most of his minutes.
