Hey, you never know if you don't ask.

I heard a similar rumor that was Smart and 16 for Noel, which I don't think is fair either (although many on this blog I'm sure would disagree).

[Endless Paradise]

Some here would think that's a gross overpayment and that Philly should consider themselves lucky if they could get the 28th for Noel.

[Donoghus]

Might as well kick the tires but I'm also not surprised that Philly would reject that deal.

Somewhere LarBrd33 is pumping his fists in the air vigorously.


I think if Ainge managed to trade Smart + 16 + 28 for Noel + #3, he might actually be charged and convicted with grand larceny.

[MBunge]

I'm not the world's biggest Noel fan and love Smart but even I admit that would be highway robbery for Boston.

Well obviously they declined.   you could offer Smart + #16 + #28 for Noel and they'd say no.  Asking for #3 as well?  lol... Good ol Danny.   Gonna be an offseason of strike outs:

Screw that. I just bought both my kids Marcus Smart jerseys last year.

Lakers planted this to lower the trade value of smart so that they would be the favorites in the Chase for Cousins

..


Ha







:edit: just saw we asked for the number three pick as well....  I wish the sixers had billy king for a gm

If Noel would end up in Boston he would lead the Noel is just a skinny 1 way overrated player talk.

So LA Times broke this story?

Sounds credible. LOOOOOOOOOOOOL!

Looks like just another rumor to to push someone's agenda.

I don't see how he couldn't be. Would make the Nets trade look like a mere slight of hand trick.

What are: two posters that couldn't be bothered to read the article.

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.

Executives said teams with multiple picks are trying to trade some of them and move up in the draft. The 76ers, for instance, have six draft picks — one in the first round and five in the second round, Nos. 35, 37, 47, 58 and 60 — and may look to package some of those or even sell a few of them.

The Clippers are a team looking to buy a second-round pick.

Broderick Turner is a legitimate reporter, and the LA Times is a legitimate newspaper. You should probably not make so much of an effort to look stupid in the future.
