The Hornets were criticized heavily for reportedly turning down a six-pick deal from the Celtics. Apparently, the Celtics offered the same deal to the Miami Heat.
According to sources, the Celtics' final offer to the Hornets was a package featuring as many as six draft picks, including four potential first-round selections (a combination of picks from this draft and in the future). But the Hornets could not be swayed and turned down multiple offers to select Wisconsin center Frank Kaminsky.
When that report came out, sportswriters and analysts were stunned.
