Celtics reportedly looking to trade up in NBA draft

No shocker here, but according to Kevin O’Connor of the Ringer, Danny Ainge has once again been active prior to a NBA Draft.

The Celtics have offered their three first-round picks (nos. 14, 26, and 30) in trades to try and move up, according to multiple league sources. So far, no one is biting. If the Celtics stay here, Hampton would make sense because he could serve as a spark-plug scorer off the bench. If Gordon Hayward were to leave Boston, secondary shot creation would be needed sooner rather than later.

Honestly the shocker would be if Ainge hadn't attempted to use the picks to move up.
