    The Boston Celtics found themselves in a flurry of trade negotiations Thursday night with hope they could land Duke forward Justise Winslow. The situation reportedly became so intense that they had six draft picks on the table at the same time but still couldn't get a deal done.

    Chris Forsberg of ESPN.com reports the Celtics offered six selections, including four first-round picks, to the Charlotte Hornets in a deal for the No. 9 pick. The Hornets refused and selected Wisconsin star Frank Kaminsky, and then the Miami Heat took Winslow.

    Boston ended up drafting Louisville guard Terry Rozier with the 16th pick.

    Afterward, president of basketball operations Danny Ainge discussed the crazy moments as the Celtics tried to trade into the top 10, as noted in Forsberg's report - See more at: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-hornets-6-picks-to-move-up-in-2015-nba-draft
