Gaffney off to Play in Turkey

Just heard from Tony's family that TGaff is off to Turkey to play some ball for Turkish Telekom. It's been a whirlwind for the former UMass star. Following college there have been several NBA workouts for various teams (see below), intense workouts down at IMG Academy (in Florida), signs with the Lakers, plays in Israel,  breaks his ankle, back to the states, plenty of rehab, more workouts, signed by the Celtics and now flying once again overseas with a nice contract in hand. Its hard not to like this guy! The journey continues from the MAN from Berkley. Even the Celtic girls are still cheering for him!!

“I still feel like we need another piece,” Pierce told the Boston Globe. “I think we could use another wingman off the bench after losing Tony Allen. I think he was real valuable, what he brought in the playoffs. … For the most part, I love our team. I think we’re better now than we were in June. But also I still think we need another piece if we’re going to win it all and not just get there." After being a nuisance to Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals, Allen signed on with the Memphis Grizzlies this summer. The Celtics have Tony Gaffney in the mix, and he could prove to be the piece that fills the void left by Allen’s departure. That remains to be seen." Full blog post here...
