    Celtics get: Marcus Banks (No. 13) and Memphis' No. 27 pick
    Grizzlies get: Troy Bell (No. 16) and Dahntay Jones (No. 20)
    The fallout: Neither Banks at No. 13 or Bell at No. 16 seems to be logical. The Grizzlies needed a strong shooting guard and took a point; the Celtics needed a point and took a shooting guard. But the deal makes things a little easier to understand -- Banks can help run the offense in Boston (and the Celtics made no secret of the fact they wanted him in recent weeks); Bell will be scoring option and Jones will add some defensive toughness in Memphis. "We got two players that, from an athletic standpoint, are at the top of the list in the draft," said Memphis GM Jerry West.

    I guess that trade is alright but Bell and Jones are two of my favourites. I hope this isnt the last trade.

    paul can get all the points he wants without troy bell, and already has, they don't need troy bell with JR Bremer, this was strictly for the trade, he was supposed to go about second round anyway.

    I thought that both of the players that were traded to memphis would become very good.
