On this day in Boston Celtics history, former point guard J.R. Bremer was traded along with big man Bruno Šundov and draft assets to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for small forward Jumaine Jones.
The Cleveland Heights (Ohio) native had signed with the Celtics as a 6-foot-2, 185 lb. free agent in the summer of 2002 after going undrafted out of St. Bonaventure University in the NBA draft of that year. Despite his lack of draft interest that summer, Bremer managed to make All-Rookie Second Team for his inaugural season in the Association, elevating his stock enough to make himself a trade asset for Boston.
