Perry Jones III is far from a lock to make the Celtics' final roster. But it would be wise for Boston to give making room for him some serious thought.
Having spent the last three years playing sparingly behind Kevin Durant, Perry Jones III will head into training camp later this month with a real shot at carving out a significant NBA role. Of course, Jones III must first make the Celtics’ opening night roster.
As currently constructed, Boston has 16 guaranteed contracts on their books—one more than the league allows. And barring a trade between now and the beginning of the 2015-16 season, one of those 16 guys will have to be cut loose.
