This happens every year. Not getting excited about anything lol draft Jackson/Tatum and sign Hayward was the plan. Until it isn't that's what I'm expecting.

The New York Knicks are seeking the No. 3 overall pick in the 2017 draft, the Brooklyn Nets' pick in 2018 along with Jaylen Brown and Jae Crowder from the Boston Celtics in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis.

The Celtics, at this point, are unwilling to meet Phil Jackson's asking price. Danny Ainge is reportedly open to tweaking the deal to include just one of the two Brooklyn picks.

This version of the deal would not include the contract of Joakim Noah.

Jackson has regretted not acquiring Crowder since he wasn't included in the Knicks' deal with the Dallas Mavericks for Tyson Chandler.

Brown is also known to be close to Isiah Thomas.

Ian Begley of ESPN reports the Celtics are offering the No. 3 pick along with one player and an additional 2017 lottery pick they believe they can acquire in a separate trade tonight.

A source tells Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald, "(Phil Jackson) is just messing with things." The Celtics are "waiting for Jackson to come back to earth."

So it certainly sounds like Danny thinks Phil will come back down to earth a bit closer to the draft tonight. Hopefully so.

I'd say it's less than 50% chance, just because these things are so hard to pull of, BUT... if there's one GM who knows how to get creative to make a deal, it's Danny.

Just wait, they'll have our LAL18/SAC19 pick but with 3 more levels of conditions to make everyone happy.

A top-15 prospect said that Phil Jackson was "falling in and out of sleep" during his draft workout.

Lol! I'm loving this Phil Jackson explosion we've got in the last 24 hours. This dude is legitimately out there.

Sources: BOS offered NYK its No. 3 pick, a player & an additional lottery pick that they think they can acquire tonight in a trade for KP.

Woah, that's very interesting. What other lottery pick could we potentially get? Sacramento's 10 pick or Detroit at 12?

I also wonder who that player is - has to be Crowder, right?

Could be Brown, Smart, AB or Crowder at this point.   And one of them likely would be part of a trade to pick up another lotto pick.

Under no circumstances do we include Brown.

He was probably high which would explain a lot.

my bet is that it doesn't get done because PJ is stubborn.

These trade rumors are overshadowing the draft!

Its a special day for these youngsters... Phil is ruining this!

Ainge isn't going to get fleeced. Will the Suns though, that is the question.
