NBA trade rumor: Celtics looking to trade up to select Myles Turner

Add another rumor to the pile.

Here's another rumor to watch for on draft night. Apparently the Willie Cauley-Stein isn't the only rim-protecting big man that the Celtics have their eyes on.

The Boston Celtics are actively attempting to trade up in next week's draft in order to select Myles Turner, according to multiple league sources. The Celtics own the 16th overall pick in the draft and Turner is expected to be picked several slots earlier.

Turner is expected to be a work in progress and may not be an immediate impact guy.
