Well, this team does need depth on the wing as well as scoring. 

This will help.

Woah indeed... talk about roster crunch... I think this means at least one more move is coming before start of camp, as I still dont see them waiving Bogans...

Turner off the bench is pretty decent....

Rondo/Smart
Bradley/Turner

Solid guard rotation.  If we get a C, we might actually make the playoffs.

Not bad at all. 

I always said when I left the Celtics, I could not go to heaven, because that would
 be a step down. I am pure 100 percent Celtic. I think if you slashed my wrists, my
 blood would’ve been green.  -  Bill "Greatest of All Time" Russell

meh, I don't mind. Green is not consistent enough and not sure what Wallace's future is here

What I REALLY want to know is how long is the contract. I don't think this move is long term, I think he may be just using him as another trade chip.

Wow...I think he is tolerable at the 3. We are acquiring a lot of average players. Assets,assets,assets.

At least everyone enjoyed watching the Jordan Crawford sabotage. Evan Turner is a bad, high-usage player AND a jerk.

Oh well, here's hoping.

And Thornton? I see Turner put more behind Green. (Or maybe Danny has a taker for Green?)
