Chris Forsberg of ESPN:

The Celtics made a strong final push to multiple teams in spots 4-9 on draft day. It culminated with an all-in effort in attempt to get Charlotte to deliver the No. 9 pick with Boston lusting for Duke forward Justise Winslow (the same player it coveted while trying to shuffle higher).

According to sources, the Celtics’ final offer to the Hornets was a package that could have featured as many as six draft picks, including four potential first-round selections (a combination of picks from this draft and in the future). But the Hornets could not be swayed and turned down multiple offers to select Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky.

Meeting with reporters in the aftermath of the draft, Ainge hinted at his team’s dogged pursuit. “Maybe we were going too hard at it,” he said. “There was a time when I thought, ‘Woah, this is getting a little out of control.’ We’re putting a lot of eggs in one young player’s basket. So I’m not frustrated. In the long run, maybe it’ll be the best.”

Well if they did offer that deal than I think they are lucky the Hornets didn't accept, but shame on the Hornets for not accepting that deal.

almost like the Bengals turning day the Saints draft offer in 99?

With the Bengals on the clock, the Saints offered them nine picks: all of their picks this year, their first-round picks in 2000 and 2001, and a second-rounder in 2002.

Gilbert will just tighten the slot machines one weekend and the fine citizens of Cleveland will make up the difference.

This is really hard to believe. If this is true, this is one of those rare double-fireable offenses. Fired for offering and fired for not immediately accepting.

I hope he stays in Portland, but it does seem like they have been making some moves to try to replace him.

If I understand the cap penalties, i believe it could upwards of $30-40mil over 5 years, right?
