The reason why a pre-draft deal wouldn't make sense for Boston is that...

the Lakers are looking to move down, too. The team jumping up to #2 may want Jackson.

So, I'd be surprised if this deal came together before draft night...unless Boston likes two players better than Fultz.

Responses:

I know Fultz is considered the #1 but the Celtics don't need another point guard. They need a 3 but there isn't one worth taking early at that spot. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 16, 14:38 9
- Jackson actually fills a better role for the Lakers - eag Jun 16, 16:26
- What I suspect is that Ainge saw that Cleveland couldn't match up with Durant. - David Jun 16, 14:39 6
  - tough to match up with Durant when you also have to worry about the others as well :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:56
  - I'm still hoping they'll see Jimmy Butler as the answer to that. Smaller, but top level defender. - pmb Jun 16, 14:49 3
    - I think Paul George makes more sense. -- nm - David Jun 16, 14:53 2
      - And no one is giving the Pacers much given he's already forwarding his mail to LA -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 14:54 1
        
        Exactly. And Butler is on a decent contract with the Bulls. -- nm - pmb Jun 16, 15:02
  - Good point. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:40
- This is me assuming Jackson can't play the 3 in the NBA -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:39
