New: Did a full breakdown of draft picks Celtics acquired in the Paul George trade per league sources including a key clarification on the 2028 first round pick https://t.co/4fvdJOnUoZ
"A 2028 first-round pick: The Sixers own two first-round picks (their own and the Clippers’) so Boston will end up with the more preferable of those picks. This won’t be a pick swap as some have reported." - BRobb
The 2028 pick Boston is getting, or swapping, with the Sixers is kind of complicated.
Boston could get Philadelphia's pick if it lands 1-8. If that pick is 9-30 it's gone from the Sixers in a complicated swap that involves multiple teams.
If the Philadelphia pick is 9-30, then Boston could get the most favorable of their own pick and the LA Clippers pick that Philadelphia owns, with the less favorable pick staying with the Sixers.
I think that's how it will work out. More to come when it's all been sorted.
Details on 76ers picks to the Celtics, per sources:
-- 2028 first-round pick that could convert from a first to a swap that is more favorable to Boston
-- 2031 unprotected Philadelphia first
-- 2028 second round, most favorable of GSW/OKC/MIL
-- 2030 second, most favorable of WAS/PORT/PHX
