Joel Embiid is finally healthy after two seasons of sitting out following multiple foot surgeries and he looks like one of basketball's next great center.

The Celtics reportedly tried to trade up to pick Embiid in the 2014 NBA Draft.

"The Celtics were trying to trade the sixth pick that year, which ended up being Marcus Smart," said Bill Simmons. "They were trying to trade the sixth pick and the Brooklyn pick (17th overall pick) to move up to three to pick Embiid even though he was hurt."

Boston has since been linked to trade scenarios with the 76ers involving both Nerlens Noel and Jahlil Okafor.
