After quite a bit of a late-night NBA Draft adventure, the Boston Celtics have made another addition to what has shaped up to be an active offseason. After moving up 10 spots in the Draft as part of the three-team trade that brought Kristaps Porzingis to Boston and sent franchise stalwart Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies, the Celtics traded down multiple times.
First, they swung a second deal with the Detroit Pistons, drafting the University of Houston’s Marcus Sasser and flipping him in exchange for the 31st pick and multiple future seconds. Then, on the clock with Pick 31, they traded down again, selecting FC Barcelona’s James Nnaji on behalf of the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for picks #34 and #39.
