What if Ainge gets impatient and trades up?

I think we have learned that we all hate the  rebuilding process most of all danny ainge. Could he get fed up at try and trade up? If so who would he take?

6th and 17th for 2-4 pick and late 1st/early 2nd round might do the trick. Especially if a team like the Bucks rather have a PG Exum/Smart vs Parker or Wiggins.

I would only trade up to get Embiid.  And I doubt that Cleveland, who is giving him a physical according to reports, will consider any offer for him for our assets.  Even an offer that included our 6th and 17th picks and multiple 1st round picks.  I would make all that available, that's how good I think he is going to be. I think Embiid will be the next great player.  LeBron, KD, Embiid.  Can't back it up with stats. Just a feel.  A gut feel.

I would not bother to trade up for Wiggins or Parker because it would be too expensive, and the talent difference between them and what we can get at 6 (Gordon, Vonleh, etc.) is not significant.

I really like Gordon.  Someone on the SBNation site for Utah suggested that Utah ought to offer to swap picks with the Celtics and get something extra from us if Boston really wants Gordon bad. Others here have said that Utah should take Gordon.  I am of the school that Gordon is going to be much better than the other guys in the mix for the 6th pick, and, if Danny feels the same way, I wonder what he would give Utah to make that trade.

While I can't see it happening, I would be ecstatic if DA ends up in the top 3. If we don't, I'd be happy with Smart.
