BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Celtics acquired Wally Szczerbiak and Michael Olowokandi from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night in a multiplayer deal that sent Ricky Davis and three other players to Minnesota.
Davis, Mark Blount, Marcus Banks, Justin Reed and two conditional second-round draft picks are going to the slumping Timberwolves. The Celtics also get Dwayne Jones and a future first-round draft pick, Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss said.
"We are ecstatic to acquire a player of Wally Szczerbiak's quality to complement Paul Pierce and our young talent base", Celtics director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said in a statement.
"In Wally, we are receiving an All-Star player who is playoff tested and who has been a winner at all levels. We wish Ricky, Mark, Marcus, and Justin continued success in Minnesota."

i just heard about this trade deal between the celtics and the t-wolves on TNT halftime...Charles is clowing on both teams here, saying KG is lonely and he's going to be lonely b/c this trade doesn't help the T-wolves. but i kinda disagree with Sir Charles, this is good for the TWolves, they get Ricky Davis...do you have any idea how explosive he is? he's sort of like stephen jackson of the pacers, he can make things happen. wally just got old, but i'm not mad at him, he's making so much money over the next couple of years he makes the Knicks Salary look decent. twolves also get Mark Blount for that old idiot that can't rebound for sh!t...whats his name...olowokandi? what a waste! expect the wolves to half a better second half of the season b/c their starting lineup looks good. Hassel, KG,R.Davis, Blount and Jaric....not bad.
what the FUK's with the censorship? Ok then...how about this...
