Lou Monaco Profile Picture

The Boston Celtics were big movers during last week’s NBA draft.

So, with the latest free agency period about to begin, and Boston already a championship favorite at most sportsbooks in Massachusetts, we decided to look at which NBA teams are the most frequent trade partners of the Celtics.

The Celtics were dealing again last week.

BetMassachusetts.com — your source for the best Massachusetts betting promos — researched the main teams willing to deal with Boston over the years.

Utilizing Basketball-Reference.com, we gathered the trades made between the Celtics and other teams — as well as highlighting the most successful acquisition of the team’s trade history between the two teams.

Boston Draft Moves

The Celtics, perhaps still stinging from losing in the Eastern Conference final to the Miami Heat, were part of four trades Thursday night during the NBA Draft at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The latest trade has improved the Celtics championship odds.

Back on the trade front, Boston started by sending its recently acquired No. 25 pick to the Pistons for the No. 31 pick and two future second-round selections.

The Celtics then flipped that No. 31 selection to the Charlotte Hornets for the No. 34 pick and No. 39 pick.  The Celtics later traded the No. 34 pick to the Sacramento Kings for the No. 38 pick and a future second-rounder.

Boston used that pick to draft Arkansas guard-forward Jordan Walsh before swapping the No. 39 to the Atlanta Hawks for yet another future second-round selection.

Earlier that day, the Celtics were supposed to pick in the second round but moved their No. 35 pick as part of the larger deal that sent fan favorite guard Marcus Smart to the Memphis Grizzlies and shipped forward Kristaps Porzingis up to Boston.
