LAS VEGAS — Virtually guaranteed not to be his last move of the summer, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge traded for Perry Jones and a second-round draft pick yesterday.
All the C’s had to send to Oklahoma City was a protected second-round pick — year to be determined. Considering the team will have 16 guaranteed contracts on the books once negotiations are finalized with rookie Jordan Mickey on a two-year contract, someone else has to go.
But for now, the Celtics will get a free look at the 6-foot-10 swing forward, who they famously passed up during the 2013 draft in favor of Fab Melo.
