Celtics Wanted the 36th Pick

Via the Memphis Commercial Appeal:

Boston tried to entice the Grizzlies twice. The Celtics offered Brian Scalabrine, Tony
Allen and a choice of J.R. Giddens or Bill Walker for the Grizzlies' 36th pick
and cash considerations.

The Celtics' best offer for the Grizzlies' No. 2 pick
only included center Kendrick Perkins.

We've heard the Perk for #2 rumor before, and I still doubt its legitimacy. But I wonder who Danny Ainge wanted to grab at #36. Here's a look at the guys who went in that area of the 2nd round:

  • Sam Young
  • DeJuan Blair
  • Jon Brockman
  • Derrick Brown
  • Jodie Meeks
  • Patrick Beverley

Your guess is as good as mine…
