Tony Gaffney on the move 10.04.10 at 10:26 am ET

The Celtics officially announced the release of Tony Gaffney Monday morning and it appears the UMass product is headed to Turkey.

Gaffney, like a number of young players, is trying to crave out a role in the NBA. His strengths–defense and rebounding– would be welcome additions to most teams, but while the Celtics certainly value those traits they are also loaded at his position where he was already behind Kevin Garnett and Glen Davis.

The C’s feel like they need shooting and that has left Von Wafer with a fighting chance at the last roster spot. Wafer is getting pushed by Mario West, a defensive specialist who walked on at Georgia Tech and survived three seasons with the Hawks. West has played 156 career games and scored 132 points, so scoring is definitely not his thing.

But West can guard small forwards and that is a greater source of need for the Celtics than what Gaffney was able to provide.

    I want to express appreciation to this writer for rescuing me from such a issue. Right after checking throughout the search engines and seeing methods which were not helpful, I was thinking my entire life was over. Being alive without the presence of approaches to the issues you’ve solved all through your good guide is a crucial case, as well as those that would have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn’t encountered the blog. Your own capability and kindness in maneuvering every item was very useful. I don’t know what I would’ve done if I hadn’t come upon such a subject like this. I can now look forward to my future. Thank you very much for your expert and effective guide. I will not hesitate to propose your web page to anybody who should have guidance on this situation.
