Technically, the tweet is correct, then? Didn't say "contact" was recent.

Hope it's more Noel than Okafor. I'm not keen in giving them number three. I wonder if we could move down in the draft, pick up some more assets in the process, and then trade for Noel.

I would rather trade them #3 straight up for one of those guys then trade away a guy like Smart or Bradley.

Would love to get the future Kings 1st in a deal.

I'm not sure that they can trade one for awhile - something like 2019.

If the third pick isn't better than Smart than I will be very very disappointed!!

The Sixers own it and it's unprotected...

2019 first round draft pick from Sacramento
 Sacramento's 2019 1st round pick to Philadelphia [Philadelphia-Sacramento, 7/9/2015]

Well, is a slightly taller Marcus Smart good enough to keep you from being disappointed?

Yeah, that's probably a dynamite pick, because that's the draft after Cousins' contract ends. I'm not sure how we'd move down, get that pick, and still have the right guy (Dunn) to trade to Philly.

Celts and Sixers trade talk heats up. Philly really really wants Dunn per Tim Welsch. @CSNNE

Not really. I assume you're talking about Brown who I'm not high on.

[jpotter33]

I really want to know if Danny is engaging them about moving up if they're really wanting Dunn. It'd probably cost way too much, though.

And if the reports on the lowering value of Okafor/Noel are true, I wonder if we could get the rights of Saric along with one of Okafor/Noel in exchange for something like 3, 23, and Rozier.

Great, then we should expect more than just Okafor in return.
