C's trade???

[keltsfan]

Ainge was a big fan of Jackson when he came out of Oregon. At the time
Jackson tested out as one of the best athletes in the draft and that
combined with his shooting touch and all around good feel for the game had
Ainge extremely interested in him. 

If Ainge is bringing in another 2/3 with a legitimate shot to make the team
then in all likelihood there is another trade coming.
