Celtics on CLNS

A bunch of high-level NBA sources reported Friday evening that the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers are deep into trade talks concerning the No. 1 and No. 3 overall picks. The Celtics may be higher on Josh Jackson than Markelle Fultz and looking to pick up assets in a trade-down.

Before Jaylen Brown became a fan-favorite rookie for the Boston Celtics, he was a teenage freshman at the University of California. With the Golden Bears, Brown took part in a Basketball Travelers trip to Australia to play some of the top pro teams in the country. Basketball Travelers' Steve Blackley joins Celtics Newsfeed Manager Mike Walsh to offer some stories from that trip. Follow Blackley on Twitter @Blackley_Steve and Walsh @CLNS_Walsh.

Danny Ainge has been known to surprise some with his personnel moves as president of basketball operations for the Boston Celtics, a factor which may have led speculated No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz to workout with the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday.

According to ESPN's Chad Ford in speaking with several insiders, the Celtics and Josh Jackson appear to be a perfect match.

The Boston Celtics have the top pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, and when conducting inventory from around the league, the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft holds supreme value as a trade asset amongst the league.

Where does it stand in the unofficial ranking of the NBA’s 2017 trade assets?
