If the 76ers\u2019 pick is outside the top 8 and the Clippers\u2019 pick is outside the top 16, the Celtics will receive the Clippers\u2019 pick and keep their own pick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Also, the Spurs will have the right to swap their first-round pick with the Celtics\u2019 own pick, as part of the 2022 Derrick White trade.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><span>Get Starting Point<\/span><\/div>\n<div><span>A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday.<\/span><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><label>Enter Email<\/label><\/p>\n<div><button>Sign Up<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span>But here\u2019s where things get interesting: If the 76ers\u2019 pick falls outside the top 8, the Clippers\u2019 pick lands in the top 16, and the Celtics\u2019 and Spurs\u2019 first-round picks are both better than the Clippers\u2019 pick, then Boston gets nothing from Philadelphia that year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It would take a comedy of errors to reach this point, of course. The Clippers appear to be entering a rebuild after trading away star forward Kawhi Leonard. The Celtics still have a dangerous core that should be an Eastern Conference contender over the next few years. And the Spurs will likely be favored to win the NBA title in 2028 with Victor Wembanyama leading the way. Still, rosters change suddenly, injuries happen, and anything is possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens and lead governor Bill Chisholm are scheduled to hold a press conference to discuss the Brown trade and Boston\u2019s recent signings at 4 p.m. Monday. Stevens has faced criticism for not speaking sooner, but he is simply not allowed. Transactions cannot be completed until the league-wide moratorium lifts Monday afternoon, so teams cannot comment until then.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>The Jaylen Brown trade was unprecedented for the Celtics, and other thoughts<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa Celtics legend Robert Parish said during his SiriusXM radio show this week that he was not a fan of the Brown trade, although he understood why the Celtics might have viewed it as the right decision. But he said former Celtics coach and lead executive Red Auerbach would not have been thrilled about trading away a superstar in his prime.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI think this would have made him nauseated,\u201d Parish said. \u201cHe may have thrown up about this move.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4257\">How Caleb Durbin recovered from the ghastly start to his Red Sox career: \u2018You gotta do what you gotta do\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p><span>Parish added that Brown should eventually have his No. 7 raised to the rafters of TD Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Hat-tip to the Globe\u2019s Red Sox beat writer, Peter Abraham, who passed along a tidbit about Brockton\u2019s AJ Dybantsa, the No. 1 pick of the NBA Draft who threw out the first pitch at Fenway Park before the Sox faced the Yankees last Saturday.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Abraham said Dybantsa was on the field waiting to be introduced when he grabbed a glove, measured 60 feet, and played catch with a ball girl for about five minutes. Dybantsa then took the mound and lofted a strike to Sox pitcher Payton Tolle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI thought it was interesting that he cared enough to do it right,\u201d Abraham said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen a lot of athletes from other sports throw out first pitches and screw it up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa Lebron James\u2019s agent, Rich Paul, was surprisingly candid while discussing his client\u2019s upcoming free agency decision during his \u201cGame Over\u201d podcast. Sitting with co-host Max Kellerman, Paul even displayed a large whiteboard that listed key figures on potential finalists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tucked away on the left side of the board, not prominent but present, Paul wrote: \u201cBrad and Tatum,\u201d a reference to Brad Stevens and Jayson Tatum. The Celtics are not considered real threats to land James, but it\u2019s clear that possibility was at least considered.<\/span><\/p>\n<div><span>Related<span>: <\/span><\/span>Should the Celtics make a run at LeBron James? It\u2019s not as crazy as you might think.<\/div>\n<p><span>\u25aa A league source said second-round draft pick Dillon Mitchell will likely end up signing a two-way contract with the Celtics but added that there could still be a pathway to a regular roster spot. Veteran guard Dalano Banton\u2019s contract for next season remains non-guaranteed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u25aa 2025 Celtics second-round pick Max Shulga has joined the Warriors\u2019 summer league roster. The Celtics declined Shulga\u2019s options for next season, though a league source said there would have been an opportunity for him to join Boston\u2019s summer league squad. Second-year big man Amari Williams, meanwhile, has signed a second two-way contract with the Celtics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/bostonrelocationinsider.com\/?p=4255\">The Nationals are full of surprises this season as their rebuild speeds up under new management\u2019s watch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The centerpiece of the deal is a 2028 first-rounder, and there&#8217;s a very unlikely chance Boston could lose the selection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4260,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
