BREAKING NEWS


NEW YORK -- The Boston Celtics acquired second-year Portland Trail Blazers point guard Sebastian Telfair for the No. 7 pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, as well as one or two other players, multiple sources told ESPN.com.




The trade was agreed upon Wednesday afternoon but it came after the 2 p.m. ET deadline which means the Celtics will still be on the clock, selecting for the Blazers, when the No. 7 pick comes up during the draft.

Portland will pick at No. 4 and No. 7, barring any more trades.

One of the players from the Celtics could be injured point Dan Dickau (Achilles), but that wasn't confirmed as of Wednesday.

Boston has been searching for a true point guard and wasn't overwhelmed by the choices that it may have at No. 7. The Celtics worked out Connecticut's Marcus Williams, Kentucky's Rajon Rondo and Villanova's Randy Foye on Monday. All three could be available at No. 7. But the Celtics brass decided that Telfair, two years into the league, was better suited for the Celtics' system at this juncture in his career.

Danny Ainge, the director of basketball operations, looked at Telfair's first eight games -- 12.6 points, shooting 45.7 percent, 42.3 percent on 3s as well as four assists a game -- as the indicator of his ability. Telfair hurt his thumb after that and was out for an extended period of time. He lost the starting point guard position during his absence to Steve Blake and Jarrett Jack. He finished averaging 9.5 points, 3.6 assists and shot 39.4 percent in 68 games. Telfair was the No. 13 pick for the Blazers in 2004 out of Lincoln High in New York.

In his two years he averaged a combined 8.1 points, 3.5 assists and shot 39.4 percent.

This deal allows the Celtics to play Delonte West more as an off guard with Telfair as a natural point.

This trade won't deter the Celtics from still pursuing Philadelphia's Allen Iverson in a summer deal that is still very much alive with a third team still to be determined.

Answer 2

Even though this draft is said to be one of the weakest top-end drafts in a long time, it should also be one of the most exciting. Lots of stuff could happen. I actually heard that Dan Dickau might get thrown in with that deal, but who knows? Not sure if that would be to clear some cap space or what.

I heard the rumor that the Celtics would trade their 7th pick to the Bulls for Chris Duhon and the 16th pick is off the table. I also heard that the Celtics are pushing aside all other trade options and focusing on trying to bring Allen Iverson to Boston. Don't know if that's going to work out, though.

Answer 3

What i've heard the most is the Celtics sending Szczerbiak and the 7th pick to the 76ers for Iverson. I live in NC, and have also heard the possibility of Iverson coming to the Bobcats in return for the #3 pick, Sean May, and a future 1st round pick.

Answer 4

I wouldn't do it the 7th pick is good in the draft Telfair isn't as good as the 7th pick but i thought u traded that pick 2 the Suns. Hey nice name always good 2 see a fellow Suns fan!

Answer 5

the trade for telfair is for the #7 and dickau. but the AI deal is top priority right now for the celtics. they won't move pierce so if the deal gets done, a team with AI and pierce would be pretty good...

Answer 6

definitly a lot of trade rumors its on nba.com that their trying to trade 4 Iverson and the sixers r very serious but that would be a great trade but only if Roy and Foye are BOTH gone

Answer 7

Ya they'd commerce anybody for CP3. yet none of them is a honest commerce. the nearest to CP3 mite Ray Allen. yet Hornets wouldnt provide up CP3, except they get like Lebron, or Kobe.
