In a whirlwind couple of days following the end of the NBA Finals, the Celtics dealt both Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis in cost-cutting moves to get them under the second apron. Now, they look to the NBA Draft to replenish their roster with young (and admittedly cheaper) talent.
After being favorites to win the Larry O’Brien last season, Boston drops to 9th in title odds (+1700) from our friends at FanDuel. Those lines most likely won’t change regardless of wh Brad Stevens picks at #28 and #32, but the draft is just the beginning of what looks like still a landscape-shifting offseason for the team and the rest of the league.
We’ll keep this tracker updated today and tomorrow with the first round starting tonight at 8 pm EST and the second completing the draft on Thursday.
