Updated List after 2025 NBA Draft – NBC Sports Boston
Brad Stevens and Boston Celtics have made out of future draft activities in the last week.
On Monday, the Celtics exchanged the veteran guard Jrue Holiday at the Portland Trail Blazers for Anfernee Simons, a choice of the second 2030 round by the New York Knicks and the choice of the second round of 2031 blazer. They followed him by sending a great man Kristaps Porzingis and a choice of the second round of 2026 to the Atlanta Hawks in an agreement to three teams that produced them Georges Niang and the second round of 2031 by Cleveland Cavaliers.
Stevens continued to treat during the 2nd day of the NBA draft of 2025. The president of Boston’s basketball operations exchanged the overall choice n. 32 to Orlando’s magic for the 46th and 57th choice, in addition to the second round in 2026 and 2027.
The choices of the second round are precious for teams such as Celtics who are beyond the luxury tax. While the choices of the first round have a predetermined wage crack for four seasons, the second round can be signed with similar agreements starting from minimum salaries that must not be guaranteed for all years.
This is a great reason why Stevens loaded the choices of the second round this summer, and may not be made yet. There are still moves to do while Boston looks to lose more salary, which he must do to keep the agents free waiting for Al Horford and Luke Kornet.
For now, here is an updated list of the future drafts of the Celtics. This list will be updated if and when multiple moves are made involving the withdrawals.
