The Boston Celtics acquired second-year Portland Trail Blazers point guard Sebastian Telfair for the No. 7 pick in Wednesday's NBA draft, as well as one or two other players, multiple sources told ESPN.com.

The trade was agreed upon Wednesday afternoon but it came after the 2 p.m. ET deadline which means the Celtics will still be on the clock, selecting for the Blazers, when the No. 7 pick comes up during the draft.
Portland will pick at No. 4 and No. 7, barring any more trades.

One of the players from the Celtics could be injured point Dan Dickau (Achilles), but that wasn't confirmed as of Wednesday.

Good move by Boston, the draft is weak anyway. I think Portland gave up too soon on Bassy. I'm not sold on Doc Rivers, but I think he will do a good job molding Telfair beause Rivers understands the point position. I'm glad he got out of that damn environment over in Portland, too much bs going on over there, it's time for Brooklyn's finest to do his thing in the East.

It makes sense. I mean you can make an argument that Marcus Williams or Rondo might be better than Telfair, but it's definitely not as clear as last year when you could be pretty confident that Felton, Paul, and D. Williams would make good NBA pg's.

Brooklyn's finest just became Boston's finest. Bassy is the MAN!. I'm tellin Y'all don't sleep on the Celts next year.

I'm glad he is out of Portland. I never wanted to see him go west. This trade brings him a little closer to home. I also feel he will be able to do his thing in Boston.

I think Telfair looks better in green anyways. This guy better show up next season or Imma have to label him a bust.
