The Boston Celtics hold the 28th and 32nd picks in the 2025 NBA draft. Following Jayson Tatum’s Achilles tendon tear, Brad Stevens is expected to explore ways of retooling the current roster. One way Stevens could make a change is by adding a fresh young talent via the draft, either late in the first round or by potentially finding a way to move up.

Grant Afseth of RG recently reported that Boston is exploring opportunities to trade their way up the draft board. Stevens would likely need to package both current picks and potentially add a player to sweeten the deal. Nevertheless, if Stevens has a target in mind, that could be a small price to pay for a player who could help the Celtics for years to come.

During a recent episode of the “First to the Floor” podcast, the hosts discussed Afseth’s report and the potential of Boston targeting someone higher up the draft board. They also dove into potential draft targets if the Celtics did find a willing trade partner.
