Wow ... @WindhorstESPN just said that if Okafor slips to 3, the Celtics are ready to send a monster package to Philly to get him.

more good news...but I think Philly will say no - just because they can.

if it nets them Noel and Okafor I'd be all for it.

Ridiculous rumor. They will pounce on Okafor themselves

Remember how we all said that if Sullinger was two inches taller and didn't have back problems he'd be a perennial all-star?

If we get Okafor, we can have our cake and Sully can eat it too!!!

Trade the 2015 16th, 45th, 2016 Unprotected Brooklyn's 1st, 2016 Dallas 1st, Kelly Olynyk, Even Turner, Chris Babb, Phil Pressey, to the 76ers 3rd 2015 pick, Nerlens Noel.

Trade the 2015 16th, 45th, 2016 Unprotected Brooklyn's 1st, 2016 Dallas 1st, Kelly Olynyk, IT, to the 76ers 3rd 2015 pick, Nerlens Noel.

What I'd be willing to trade them.  I don't want to give up Smart.  I love IT but I rather a cheaper Smart.

Sully is my favorite Celtic and that still deserves a TP.

we have officially entered the world of silly. i can hardly wait for the [dang]ed draft and the circus surrounding it to be done tonight.

[Irish Stew]

Interesting. It seems to me that any Celtic offer would have to start with Smart, Brooklyn 2016, and 16. There would have to be more from a list that would include one or more of Young, Celtics 2016 1st, Sullinger/Olynyk, 28, 33, 45. Having said all that, I still think Sam Hinkie turns them down.

[littleteapot]

I'd do the same for Mudiay.

[Csfan1984]

Good luck with that one Philly. Okafor is the worst prospect out of Noel and Embid because he is the least mobile and lower upside. This is Philly hoping they get multiple prospects and picks for a guy they don't want. Just take Porzingis you know you want to Philly lol

[apc]

I will be really san to see Smart included in any package.

[CelticSooner]

Selling the farm for just Okafor? No likey

Not ridiculous. They have Embiid and Noel. Don't need another big.

[Evantime34]

I think it would take Smart, 16, the two future Nets pick and a future C's pick, plus whoever they want still left on our roster.

It would be really nice if we could keep Smart in an Okafor deal. Smart and Bradley's wing defense could help mitigate some of Okafor's defensive concerns.

p.s.- did anyone see Windhorst say this? Was it on espn? Or espn radio? It wasn't something windhorst tweeted.
