Boston, MA --The Boston Celtics announced today that the August 6th trade with the Los Angeles Lakers, in which the Celtics received Gary Payton, Rick Fox and a conditional first round draft pick in exchange for Chucky Atkins, Chris Mihm, Marcus Banks and a second round draft choice, has been amended. In the amended deal, the Celtics have sent 6?8? forward Jumaine Jones instead of Banks to the Lakers, and no longer includes the Celtics second round draft choice.
Boston still receives Payton, Fox, the conditional first round draft pick and cash considerations.
