The Celtics didn’t need to make major moves following their six-game loss to the Warriors in the NBA Finals. They didn’t really have the pieces to make major moves either, at least not without giving up a core player.
However, Boston was able to make a pair of additions that could be very impactful. The Celtics traded for Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon, with Daniel Theis and Aaron Nesmith being the only notable players they gave up to go along with their 2023 first-round pick. They were also able to sign veteran forward Danilo Gallinari to the taxpayer mid-level exception.
