Need a laugh? Here's a fun report from Broderick Turner of the LA Times.
League executives also said the Celtics were trying to move up in the draft, using their two first-round picks and two second-round picks as bait.
The executives said the Celtics were looking to trade point guard Marcus Smart and the Nos. 16 and 28 picks in the first round to Philadelphia for center/forward Nerlens Noel and the No. 3 pick. But the 76ers, the executives said, weren't interested.
As stupid as that offer sounds (and it sounds incredibly stupid), Hinkie can probably appreciate phone calls like that. He is clearly a fan of doing your due diligence and determining the value of your assets. But my guess is he's a bigger fan of Nerlens Noel and a top 3 pick in this draft.
