At the time the team acquired Perry Jones, the Boston Herald’s Steve Bulpett reported Jones will “get a good, long look, but he’s no sure bet to be on the Celtics’ roster opening night.” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge may have implied a similar message, saying, among other things, “We’ll see how (Jones) fits in with our system.” It’s worth noting the Thunder couldn’t find any team willing to part with an asset for Jones. To dump his salary, they were forced to give the Celtics a future second-round pick. That would be why waiving him, rather than trading him, might be an option.
