From the LA Times, of all places:
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.
Weren’t interested is probably an understatement. It probably went more like this: Hinkie hears trade offer, says “Hold please,” holds phone to chest, laughs, farts into receiver and hangs up.
Somewhere, Ruben Amaro can’t find any issues with this very fair offer.
Thursday should be fun.
