We’re about two weeks away from the 2020 NBA Draft, which means we’re deep into smoke and mirror season. Rumors are abound about what each team will do, which prospects they like, and the trades they could consider to get their player on Draft Night.
For the Boston Celtics, no rumor seems to be gaining steam more than the potential to consolidate their three first-round picks and move up into the top ten. Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer reported the C’s interest in shipping picks 14, 26 and 30 to move up, a way of both maximizing the talent they’d bring in and solving the roster crunch created by holding three first-round selections.
