So the Celtics sent the first pick to the Sixers for the No. 3 pick and the protected Los Angeles Lakers' first-rounder in 2018, which the Sixers owned. The Celtics will get the pick if it falls in slots 2-5 in next summer's NBA draft lottery. If it does not, Boston will receive the 2019 first-round pick of either the Sacramento Kings or the Sixers. The Celtics would take whichever one is more favorable. But if either of those picks becomes the first overall, the Celtics will receive the other pick.
