One of the NBA rumors floating around today is a trade between the Celtics and the Timberwolves. Compared to the others, this one is like the stale roll at the all you can eat rumor buffet, but there may be more benefit to the Celtics than initially meets the eye.
At first glance the deal appears to center on the Celtics acquiring former number 1 pick Anthony Bennett. While Danny Ainge is not afraid to take on a player that other teams have soured on (credit his faith to Brad Stevens and the culture he has created), this potential move may be as much about Bennett as about what is rumored to be surrounding him in the deal.
