While I've already worn out one mouse thrashing with ESPN's trade machine, I have come to realize that now is probably not the time to clear roster space through trades. While I am sure Ainge has his ear to the rails for any “many-for-one-good/great” opportunities, during this rainbows-and-ponies optimism of summer, it seems unlikely any of those semi-forced availabilities will crop up (check back after Christmas as the ongoing circuses in Sacramento and a number of other NBA-big-boy-toys threaten to implode). So the immediate task list seems to be exploring other cap-for-goodies options.
The PJ3 acquisition was an obvious no-brainer—future second, PJ, and cash (read Jones' salary) for a “highly-protected” (read unlikely to ever be conveyed) second and a trade exception (that costs us nothing).
