Wow … @WindhorstESPN just said that if Okafor slips to 3, the Celtics are ready to send a monster package to Philly to get him.

Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report says there’s growing momentum the Lakers are going to select D’Angelo Russell with the 2nd pick. It’s highly unlikely Philly – a team who’s spent the previous two lottery picks on big men – will select Jahlil Okafor at 3. So Sixers GM Sam Hinkie can sit back, field offers and see if any trump the player they’d select at 3.
So… what would you give up for a shot a Okafor? I’m guessing Marcus Smart, #16 and Brooklyn’s 1st in 2017 2016 will be the starting point.
UPDATE:
A source has confirmed to me if Okafor drops to the 3rd pick, Ainge will do anything and everything to get him from the 76ers. #NBADraft2015
