Press Release - The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired forward/center Dwayne Jones from the Boston Celtics in exchange for guard/forward Luke Jackson and cash considerations, General Manager Danny Ferry announced today. Cleveland also receives a trade exception as part of the deal.
"We think Dwayne will be a good fit with us. He has the potential to be a quality rebounder, defender and shot blocker in the NBA. We look forward to having him with us and helping him further develop as an NBA player. Luke has worked his tail off to return from injuries and we wish him the best as he takes the next step of his career. As we looked at our current roster situation, we felt that this trade would better balance our roster and hopefully also put Luke in a better situation to succeed,” Ferry said.
By no means is this big news but Luke Jackson was someone I really wanted Isiah to get on this team. Jackson hasn't done much since arriving in the NBA 2 years(Lebron and Larry Hughes are playing infront of him) ago but the guy was an awesome college player, with a great shot, plays average defense, and he also rebounds pretty well for a guard. You can't find too many 6'7 2guards and he creates defensive mismatches on a nightly basis. I gotta say, I really like what Danny Ainge has done in Boston, the Celtics have a TON of good young players to play around Paul Pierce. Watch out for Boston this year.

I would have loved if he brought in Randy Foye instead of Making that terrible Telfair deal.....
Gerald Green
Ryan Gomes
Al Jeferson
Delonte West
are all good young players that they can build around, he is moving in the right direction, but still not in love with that Wally deal
