After deciding to trade the number one overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft to the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics hauled in a number of valuable first-round picks. According to basketball insider Adam Zagoria and Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, the Celtics may not be done wheeling and dealing, as a trade for Chicago Bulls small forward Jimmy Butler seems to be next on the Celtics itinerary.
The Celtics could also be acquiring more first-round picks to deal for Jimmy Butler, per league source.
