In a fairly surprising move, the Boston Celtics picked up Jabari Parker off of the free-agent market on Friday night. It came at the expense of Moritz Wagner, who had been collecting DNP-CDs in recent weeks after failing to make much of an impact in his short stint in green and white.
Hardwood Houdini knew that either Wagner or Luke Kornet would find their way to the chopping block if Danny Ainge were to make a move. Isaiah Thomas might have been our preferred target, but Parker is enough of a wild card to give Danny Ainge props for taking a gamble.
