The 2023 NBA draft takes place this Thursday, June 22. While the Boston Celtics traded their first-round pick, they possess an intriguing selection at the top of the second round via a pick owed them by the Portland Trail Blazers at No. 35.
The Celtics could trade up, back or out depending on what sort of trades might be on the table ahead of their time on the clock late Thursday evening. Offseason rumblings have already connected several Boston players with potential moves around the league.
To get a handle on which prospects might be of interest to the Celtics, where in the draft they might be, and what Boston might need to do to get there, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast brought on friend of the pod Bryan Kalbrosky of For The Win and USA TODAY.
The trio makes sense of the first big trade of the 2023 offseason: Bradley Beal to the Phoenix Suns. They dive into some of the meatier rumors making the rounds, take a first look at the hire of Phil Pressey as an assistant, and tie it all to the main event on Thursday.
