It's already been talked about Celtics had offered the 16t, 28th and Smart for Noel and the 3rd and it got turned away.  So they're talking a Godfather Offer, I think it doesn't actually involve Smart.  I think something along this trade might be more intriguing to them and would be worth it.  This is just a random idea when looking at the roster and ideas on what would be a "Godfather Offer" and keeping Smart for us.

Celtics Trade:
Isaiah Thomas, Kelly Olynyk, James Young, Boston 2015 16th, 45th, 2016 Brooklyn 1st unprotected, Boston 2016 2nd rounder, 2016 Dallas 1st pick.

76ers Trade:
2015 3rd pick - Jahlil Okafor, Nerlens Noel

Don't want both of them. I don't think Noel's future is at the 4. I'd much prefer Noel to Okafor, but give me just one of those guys.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

As soon as DA makes that trade he should be banished to Laker Land that will ensure that the entire Celtic Nation will despise him.

IMO Noel, Okafor and Embiid are all centers so it's a good question who would they move because no way they need all 3.

Right now I prefer Noel, he looks like the new athletic center of the NBA to me.

  If you pair Okafor with Noel you will have the worst spacing in the NBA.  Okafor will have no space to work and your guards and small forward will have ZERO access to the rim.
