76ers, Celtics among bombshell 4-team, pre-draft trade proposal

With much conjecture surrounding the 2017 NBA Draft, here’s a bombshell four-team proposal that can greatly enhance the prospects of several teams involved, including the Philadelphia 76ers.

Despite holding the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, the motives of the Boston Celtics still remain unknown.

Similarly, the Philadelphia 76ers, holders of the No. 3 overall pick, have left their movements up in the air.

And it’s not just the Sixers and the Celtics who are still undecided on their intentions. Whether it’s trading down, trading up or simply retaining the pick, a number of teams with lottery selections this year have yet to finalize their plans for what is considered the strongest draft in over a decade.

For the sake of speculation and brainstorming, it’s time to get weird with a bombshell, hypothetical four-team trade proposal leading into the draft.

The proposed deal includes the Sixers, the Celtics, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Phoenix Suns. As you may notice, these teams hold many of the aces in the upcoming draft. But despite their high pecking order in the draft, they could make things even better for themselves with some pre-draft maneuvering to drastically improve their rosters.

With an alarmingly uncompetitive playoffs, teams across the league will soon be needing to think outside the box in order to keep up with the respective juggernauts in the Eastern and Western Conferences.

Without further ado, here is a proposal to get multiple fan bases thinking.
