Celtics have more draft capital than other contenders

As crazy as it seems after just winning the chip, Celtics are actually in a better position to improve their roster than other contenders.

With the exception of OKC, Celtics still have more draft picks than all other contenders.

Celtics owe a pick swap in 2028 to the Spurs and their 2029 FRP to the Trailblazers but we control all other FRPs.

Meanwhile

Bucks don’t own or control any of their FRPs till 2030

Suns don’t own or control any of their FRPs till 2030

The Timberwolves still owe 3 future FRPs and a swap to Utah.

The Cavs still owe 3 future FRPs and 2 swaps to Utah

Mavs still owe 3 future FRPs and a swap

Clippers don’t own or control future FRPs till 2029

Hawks still owe 2 FRPs and a swap to the Spurs

Nuggets still owe 2 future FRPs

Pacers still owe 2 future FRPs to the Raptors

Heat still owe 2 future FRPs

Sixers still owe 2 future FRPs

Lakers still owe 2 future FRPs

Most of our rivals for the championships have very little flexibilities to improve their roster which is good news for us. Also we still can potentially outbid a lot of teams to improve our roster. Amazing work by Brad Stevens.
