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...
