When the NBA draft opens on Wednesday, the Celtics will sit at the bottom of the draft order. Trading up or down in the draft remains a possibility, but fans can't expect Boston to flip draft capital for more contributors.
The Celtics are already projected to be over the second luxury-tax apron, restricting their ability to make significant moves such as aggregating contracts for a single player or using trade exceptions.
"I anticipate picking a couple picks," general manager Brad Stevens said. "Whether they're on roster or two-way, and investing in young players. If they come in and crack our rotation, then they're really good."
"The Celtics prioritize flexibility, so they probably like the idea of bringing back both Kornet and Tillman to give themselves the option to play different ways," Adam Himmelsbach of the Boston Globe wrote.
