The Celtics are in an interesting spot. They hold the top pick in the 2017 NBA draft, and they are competing with the Cavaliers in the eastern conference finals.
With the top player in the draft being Markelle Fultz, the pressure to trade the pick isn’t as intense as last season. Fultz is a franchise player who can be a perennial all star for years to come. Next to Isaiah Thomas, the Celtics back court would be one of the best in the NBA.

For those reasons, I think keeping the pick is the right move for Boston.
