During the NBA Draft Combine, the Boston Celtics, who hold the No. 28 pick in the 2025 Draft, interviewed several top prospects including Duke's Cooper Flagg and Texas' Tre Johnson. This pursuit is noteworthy since they can interview only 13 players, indicating a high interest in Flagg and Johnson despite their likely unavailability at pick 28. Speculation surrounds the Mavericks, expected to choose Flagg first overall, and possibilities of trades involving key Celtics players like Jaylen Brown for a chance to draft Flagg.
[Teams] rank the players that they most want to interview. This would be that they had Cooper Flagg, Tre Johnson, and guys like that ranked high to get the opportunity to get to interview them.
The Mavericks are widely expected to take Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick after winning the draft lottery this past week.
Boston calls [Dallas GM] Nico [Harrison] and they offer Jaylen Brown. And how many first-round picks is it gonna take?
Considering the Celtics' lack of elite draft capital, they would almost certainly have to give up a player of Jaylen Brown's caliber and potentially more to get the right to draft Flagg.
