The Celtics have traded Dwayne Jones for Luke Jackson and cash. You know a lotto pick is a bust when he gets dealt for a undrafted scrub big man. Luke is even worse than that since the Cavs also gave up cash just so they could dump him.
Since Lukie has a team option on his contract for next season, odds are he's a one and done in Beantown. Actually odds are that he's none-and-done but you never can tell with Danny. This move might make him think someone like Tony Allen or Delonte West are expendable. However,
while some people might hope that we found a diamond in the rough, the truth is that Luke is a poor man's Wally (if said poor man is homeless, decaying diseased, tranvestite albino). At the very least, this gives Doc another option which, in Doc's case, is a bad thing. I can just envision a small ball lineup of Telfair, Rondo, Jackson, Pierce, and Scalabrine. On the bright side, when it comes to Doc's much-desired separation, Luke should comply by making it obvious that he is below the level of Green, Allen, West, Wally, and Pierce.
Seeing as reports have said that Theo Ratliff is already banged up and will be missing a few more games, it would seem that we need Jones for than Jackson. Jones is by no means a legit option in the middle but we need an emergency big man more than a floppy haired bench warmer.
