Bill Simmons asks why couldn't we trade down for Jaylen Brown and pick up another asset

Bill Simmons asked the same question on Toucher & Rich this morning that I had been asking for a while now and especially last night. If Jaylen Brown is your guy, that's fine. You should 100% draft him. But if no one else has him in their top 6 why not trade down? Even if you end up only getting a future pick or a player like Dieng from Minnesota you're still getting something.

I only have two possible explanations for Ainge staying at 3 to pick Brown. One would be he spent so much time talking bout trading he pick to Philly or Chicago that he didn't have the time to have contingency trades to trade back in the draft if those trades didn't pan out.
