A look at which second-round picks the Celtics are dealing to the Thunder

A look at the details surrounding the picks that each team receives

A wild start to the offseason continued in Boston when the Celtics dealt Kemba Walker, the No. 16 overall pick, and a 2025 second-round pick to Oklahoma City in exchange for Al Horford, Moses Brown, and a 2023 second-round pick.

With the Celtics controlling multiple 2025 second-round picks and OKC having a boatload of picks in seemingly every draft for the next decade, the picks each team receives could vary based on which team they originally belonged to. The Thunder cleared up which picks each team were receiving in a press release on Friday morning.

OKC will receive the better 2025 second-round pick between Boston and Memphis, while Boston will get the lowest of the three 2023 second-round pick that the Thunder have.

 

WATCH: OKC G Hamidou Diallo commits one of the strangest goaltends ever in 97-95 loss at Denver

The Thunder guard made an inexplicable play

There are moments made for “Shaqtin’ a Fool,” the place where NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal puts together some of the worst NBA plays you will ever see.

At the end of the third quarter in OKC’s 97-95 loss to Denver, Thunder guard Hamidou Diallo made arguably the most questionable play of the NBA season to date. Where did he end up? You guessed it:

This goaltend came on an end of the third quarter heave by Jamal Murray, and cut the Denver deficit to 9 heading into the fourth quarter. It was not only one of the strangest goaltends you will ever witness, but also ended up being the moment where momentum shifted towards the Nuggets. Seriously, what in the world is Diallo thinking?

Denver would go on to win thanks to a 12-0 run throughout the final four minutes that erased an eight-point OKC lead.
