Last night, the Boston Celtics won the NBA Lottery to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, a momentous victory for the organization only made possible by a past trade with the Brooklyn Nets that gave the Celtics — among other assets — the right to swap 2017 first-round selections with the Nets.
This trade could — or more aptly “should” — have an impact on the NFL.
Out of curiosity, I checked the details of that trade... and was immediately reminded it was part of the, now really infamous, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce deal.
