How the Boston Celtics benefitted from the Draft Lottery
The Boston Celtics were winners in many ways last night. While they did land the #14 pick of the draft via the Sacramento Kings, it was how other teams shook out that benefitted them big time.
The Boston Celtics are no longer benefitting from the follies of Billy King and the 2013 Nets trading away several unprotected first rounders while also swapping the picks with Boston the years the Stepien Rule prevented them from trading picks in consecutive years.
The city of New York’s misfortune is still helping out Boston though. This time it was the Knicks whose suffering is great news for the Celtics.
