Jackson can't shoot.

The Celtics needed shooting from the wings or a pick and roll scoring guard.

This trade makes the Celtics have to get Griffin or Hayward this offseason or they lose their cap space having to resign Isiah Thomas and/or Avery Bradley after next offseason.

Fultz would have allowed them to move on having to give Thomas 200 million. Jackson plays the same position as last year's first round pick Jaylen Brown.

The pick the Celtics get is 2nd-5th next year or it's the 2019 Kings pick. That isn't enough to go from 1 to 3.

Ainge didn't get enough. CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard were on teams that lost to Ivy League teams as well. Both are solid all-star guards in Portland. I don't care if they lost in college or not it's completely different than the NBA.

Ainge traded a dollar bill for 85 cents and one scratch lottery ticket.

It's not a trade that gives them a chance at Anthony Davis. The Pelicans will never trade Davis for another 3 years minimum.

Take the best player and let him develop. Neither Jackson or Tatum give the Celtics wing shooting they need.
