Even though they have about 1 million forwards, they can always trade 1 or 2 away.
Side note to ESPN - GET RID OF STEPHEN A SMITH. He is just awful.

It may not be as bad a deal as you think. If/When the Celts are out of the playoff picture there are plenty of teams that may desire Allen for a legit playoff run (can you say Cavs?). The biggest thing that they did was trade Wally and his idiotic contract which frees up a lot of cap space for them that they were stuck with through 2009. (26 mill I believe). They still have Radcliff's expiring contract to deal and at least Allen will be marketable if and when they need to deal him. Plus you keep Pierce occupied during the offseason.
