Isn't that a dirty word around here? At least, since Red Auerbach died? The associations we most readily make with that term are a little awful to contemplate......and the general Celtics fandom/mystique.
Noel wasn't a draft day trade. So while they did end up with him, I wouldn't exactly say they had the 6th pickThey also had #6 back in 2013.

While they may not have 'had the pick' when it was made, it's clear the pick was made for them by the Pelicans. NBA doesn't allow swaps day of draft and teams often pick for someone they are trading with. For all intents and purposes, they had the 6 pick.Noel entered the 2013 NBA draft after playing one season at the University of Kentucky and was projected to be one of the top picks, with many considering Noel the favorite to be picked first in the draft.[12][13] He was invited to sit in the "green room", a room of the projected top 10–15 collegiate basketball players during the draft and ended up being selected with the sixth overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans. There were possible concerns around the league about his torn left ACL knee, which may have caused him to slide down, thus not being taken earlier.[12][14] It was announced later that night, that Noel's draft rights were to be traded, along with a 2014 first round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for guard Jrue Holiday and the draft rights to Pierre Jackson.[15]
