MKG could fall to 5... Trade up?

With washington trading for okafor and ariza it pretty much locks them in at taking Beal #3. So so far the top 3-4 is almost guaranteed

1) Anthony Davis (duh)
2) Thomas Robinson (been impressive at workouts, seems like Charlotte would take him)
3) Bradley Beal (guaranteed at this point)
4) I've heard Cleveland has been really interested in Harrison Barnes, but they could snag Gilchrist.
5) Sacramentos Pick

Trading with SAC would make perfect sense for the Celtics. They could S&T Jeff Green to SAC and send other assets (21&22 picks, future first?) Giving SAC an already solid SF, rather than developing one. Then the Celtics could draft either Barnes, or more preferably MKG. This guy has a ridiculously high motor and commits to defense more than Rondo & Bradley combined. This guy already has a Celtic attitude at age 18 (He will be 19 when the season starts) I really like MKG and think that we just may have enough assets to get a deal done, but we might have to take back John Salmons, Chuck Hayes or Francisco Garcia (More incentive for SAC to get cap relief because they're clearly on the upswing now)

Trade Assets:
S&T Jeff Green
S&T Brandon Bass
Avery Bradley (Would hate to see him go though/might be a deal breaker as hes already proven)
21st Pick 2012
22nd Pick 2012
Future first (except 2013, cant trade back to back 1st rounders)
Second Rounders (ours this year, I know Danny has gotten a 2nd rounder in just about the next 4 drafts from random teams)
JJJ (not a big asset but trade filler)

MKG just strikes me as a player that, under Doc and being a Celtic, could turn into a great player, and the heir to the Truth's SF spot (His throne already has a headband wearing, triple doubling, beast of a PG)

I would give up everything on your list except AB (so 3 firsts, Bass, Green and JJJ) to get Kidd Gilchrist.  Not going to happen though.

While I agree that it's never going to happen, I'd trade up for either Barnes or MKG at 5 if it were a possibility. Both guys have the potential to be a top 3 option for a contender, in my opinion.

Unrealistic....unless your willing to give up Rondo which would be foolish.
