Boston Celtics N.B.A. Draft Hub:
Ainge says he has contacted Milwaukee, Atlanta, Portland and New Orleans, who have the top four selections in that order, as well as other teams to discuss potential draft deals. He wouldn't mind packaging Boston's 18th pick with something else to trade up -- although he said he would probably only make a deal that would give him one of the top four picks -- or to move down in exchange for a future draft pick. But even if the Celts stay with what they've got, Ainge is certain they can find some talent. -Projo
