Sherrod Blakely February 21, 2017 12:51 PM Marcus Smart mic'd up compilation Marcus Smart was mic'd up for Monday night's game against the Hawks. Here are some of the best moments. BOSTON -- Two of the NBA’s biggest names on the trade market, Serge Ibaka and DeMarcus Cousins, changed zip codes (Ibaka to Toronto from Orlando, Cousins to New Orleans from Sacramento) without the Celtics showing much interest in swinging a deal for either player. MORE TRADE TALK Lowe: Wouldn't be shocked if C's move Bradley Report: Ainge wouldn't trade Nets pick for Butler, would for George List of assets the Celtics have to offer Report: Okafor deal 'still in consideration' for C's Report: Celts 'deeply interested' in P.J. Tucker Report: Boston 'expected' to talk to Dallas about Andrew Bogut Could it be because they had their sights set on Detroit’s Andre Drummond all along? Pistons general manager/head coach Stan Van Gundy has made no secret about talking with lots of teams about his players leading up to the trade deadline, well aware that his team has been one of the league’s biggest underachievers. Detroit (27-30) is eighth in the Eastern Conference, trailing first-place Cleveland by 13 games. Drummond was reportedly offered to Sacramento as part of a deal for Cousins, so it should not come as a surprise that his name has found its way into the rumor mill.

But he also changed his Twitter profile picture to him waving goodbye. after removing Pistons information from his bio. Is he pulling our leg, or giving a heads-up that the Celtics are close to pulling off a trade? A league source tells CSNNE.com that while no deal is imminent, Boston is a possible landing spot for Drummond if the Pistons are, in fact, planning on trading him. That, says the source,"is not a definite. [Van Gundy] knows he has to do something significant with that team, if not at the deadline [then] definitely this summer. "So he’s looking to find out the value for all his guys, Drummond included.â€� Tags: A.
