I thought this would be easier than creating a new thread for each new rumor that we hear in the next 30 hours or so. Post any draft trade or pick rumors that you hear of, and please provide a source if you can.

Celtics offering up the #3 pick to the Bucks for Jabari Parker.

I've been on record saying I think a trade centered around Jabari and #10 for Bradley and the #3 makes sense. However, I think Milwaukee values their three wing guys too much for this to happen, no matter how good of a fit Dunn and Bradley would be in Milwaukee. That totally seems like a Kidd thing to do.

I could see Bucks holding out till C's are on the clock. Dunn plus 31 for Parker is a great deal for both teams. Dunn fits that team. Parker fits the modern 4 for C's.

I agree, though I think they may end up wanting more than that.

would see if we could swap out Bradley for Smart.

They need more shooting around Middleton, and picking Dunn would mean that Bradley would be the better fit due to his shooting.

- Just listened to Ford on ESPN radio. Says Dunn's the guy teams want now. Also he thinks Cs and Sixers will compromise under the gun and Sixers will kick something along with Okafor in to make a deal work for the #3. Just his hunch, but it's tough to see how Sixers don't try to get a deal done.  Let Dunn slip away and still stuck with 3 centers? Have to think Covington would be the target for DA if he's open to Oka4 anyhow? Ford senses that Skal Labissiere may slide - looks good playing against chairs and disappears otherwise. Also thinks foreign players will rise in this draft.


- Then listened to a podcast of Bilas from yesterday and he's said Dunn's the BPA after the top 2.


- Bulpett posted the following 3 hours ago. As most here would expect, Trader Danny doing his utmost.

Celts trying very hard to make major deals, apparently well prepared. Source says they have quick comebacks when different scenarios raised.

- Bobby Marks saying teams are going to hold on to stars signed cheaply under the old TV contract. (IOW, slow market for trades as DA is finding out).

Consensus among teams is that players signed under the old TV $ will be hard to pry away. Contract has high value with the new cap spike.

One year too late....if the cap was rising next year then I think Danny would have ultimate leverage, but it looks like -at least for now - no one is budging.....I'm off to the pessimistic thread.

finally....the first one of the season.  Indiana is in win now mode. Teague and P. George...good duo.

I still think he's more interested in Noel than Okafor. But, yeah, adding a Covington piece would be nice. I wonder if we could add to the third pick to make them give up Saric instead of someone like Covington. If we're assuming that Okafor/Noel is not enough for #3 in itself, would adding something like Young or Rozier get them to toss Saric's rights in the deal? A Rozier/Dunn backcourt would be pretty interesting.

Adam Himmelsbach: Some clarification on Hield saying Celtics saw him workout twice: First time was his Pro Day, when tons of teams saw him.

George Hill to Utah? I wonder what goes back to Atlanta. Could Burks be going to Atlanta? They have a logjam with Hood, Burke, and Exum there anyways.

okay, but let's not forget that last year the lakers brought in okafur and mudiay in twice. and then drafted neither of them.
