Why The Boston Celtics Do The Deal 

Some Celtics fans will protest this deal. This is a title contender – why are they interested in the fifth overall pick? 

Well, simply put, the Celtics are getting value here. A pick that has already landed fifth is a highly valuable asset. It’s possible that the Celtics won’t be offered a more valuable one for Brown. 

No, this pick won’t land one of the most elite prospects. It will land them a great one. In all likelihood, one of Ausar Thompson or Cam Whitmore will be on the board when they’re selecting.

The Celtics could develop that player alongside Jayson Tatum. Alternatively, they could shop him down the road. All told, this is about getting max value.

Meanwhile, adding Bogdanovic and Burks should still keep Boston in the title picture next season.
