Report: Ainge contacted two teams about moving up in NBA draft


With Kevin Love trade indications blinking all over the radar, a new report has surfaced via Yardbarker:

"The Celtics have contacted "two unspecified teams" about trading up in the 2014 NBA draft, the Boston Herald reported Thursday, citing a league source. Ainge has also taken multiple calls from other teams inquiring about the sixth pick according to the Herald"

The Celts may be attempting to trade up for a variety of reasons. Perhaps a trade up would still just be flipped for Love. On the other hand, maybe Ainge is setting up plan B with the Chicago Bulls and Sacramento Kings preparing new packages to acquire Love. Wiggins, Parker, Embiid, anyone?
