The Boston Celtics raised some eyebrows sending shooter Desmond Bane to the Memphis Grizzlies with the 30th overall pick of the 2020 draft, with the exact details of the trade still unclear.
There is speculation there may be a pick on the way back from Memphis, as well as the thought that rarely-played big man Vincent Poirier may be on the move to the Grizzlies.
The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach reports that the Celtics will receive two future second round picks from the Griz, while Yahoo Sports’ Keith Smith believes there may be chance the French big man is on his way to Tennessee.
According to a league source, the Celtics will receive two future second-round picks from the Grizzlies in return for the 30th pick this year.

For now, we wait for details about the trade to bubble up; Memphis has a number of protected second rounders that may be on their way back to the Celtics in a future draft, should that information be correct.
Stay tuned for more details about Boston’s draft night choices.
