Can Danny?

Apparently Ainge wasn't able to undo the curse of Eric Montross and sign the man whom the Celtics should have selected in that draft, Eddie Jones (although, I was more of a Jalen Rose fan myself). Jones is heading to Dallas on a two year deal and the first year is supposedly only 1.8 million dollars.  I'm not sure if Danny made a play for Eddie and he just chose Dallas but I really hope that we are able to spend some money for guys like Jones.  He would have been a great 6th man and was cheap.

On the bright side, Jones's contract sets a nice benchmark for other players and shows that the Celtics should definitely be able to fill out the roster with low priced, quality veteran players.  The owners won't have to delve too deep into the luxury tax waters in order to build a solid bench behind Big Ticket, Truth, and Jesus.
