BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics, hoping to boost their offense for a playoff run, acquired guard Tony Delk and forward Rodney Rogers in a five-player trade with the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday.

The Suns received forward Joe Johnson, Boston's first pick in last year's NBA draft and the 10th pick overall, as well as back-up guards Milt Palacio and Randy Brown, and a first-round draft pick in this year's draft.

ESPN's David Aldridge first reported the trade Wednesday, and Celtics spokesman Jeff Twiss confirmed it in the evening.

Delk, a 6-foot-2 guard and 5-year veteran out of Kentucky, was averaging 10.6 points per game this season for Phoenix. Rogers, a 6-7 forward and 8-year league veteran from Wake Forest, started seven of Phoenix's 50 games, averaging 12.6 points and 4.8 rebounds per game.

Johnson, who came out of Arkansas as an underclassman, started 33 of 48 games for Boston this year, averaging 6.3 points per game. Palacio was averaging 3.7 points as a backup guard, and Brown has played in just one game during an injury-plagued season.

The Celtics, 31-23 following Tuesday's last second win over the Los Angeles Lakers, are in third-place in the Eastern Conference. They play the Mavericks on Thursday in Dallas.
