Sources: Celtics eye Kristaps Porzingis but Knicks' demands 'ridiculous'

The Boston Celtics have made trade offers to the New York Knicks for young star Kristaps Porzingis, per ESPN sources, but the teams have not found common ground.

One source familiar with the talks told ESPN's Dave McMenamin that the Knicks' demands for Porzingis were "ridiculous." A second source told ESPN's Jeff Goodman that the two teams remained far apart as of Thursday afternoon.

One offer that was discussed between the Celtics and the Knicks included Boston sending New York its No. 3 pick and an additional lottery pick that it would acquire in Thursday's draft along with a player, per ESPN sources.
