Boston Celtics Gambling on Perry Jones' Talent with No-Risk Trade

The Boston Celtics don't have an obvious need for Perry Jones, and they were certainly aiming for something a lot higher than the former first-round pick when they entered the 2015 NBA offseason.

But when the price is right—or, in this case, virtually nonexistent—it makes sense to place a risk-free wager on someone with his freakish physical gifts.

The Celtics snatched the versatile forward away from the Oklahoma City Thunder Thursday in a deal most notable for its door-busting discount rate. The trade particulars, provided by ESPN.
