The Celtics have been one of the most active teams in the NBA over the last few days.

Via Keith Smith of Spotrac: "The Celtics can use depth on cost-effective seconds to fill out the backend of the roster. Getting four total picks for one is really good value for Boston. Also, give them additional future draft capital to use in trades down the line."
