This is a steal for the Celtics, they gave up virtually nobody that you would miss (except Sasha of course!) and got in return a player that will solidify their bench once Bradley returns. The Celtics haven't had even a mediocre bench since 2010, and even then there weren't any scoring threats.
The final trade was: JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, Sean Williams to Houston, Sasha Pavlovic and a second round pick to Portland. Houston is expected to waive both Moore and Sean Williams, according to Gary Washburn.
