As you definitely already know if you like the Boston Celtics and care about their future, the Brooklyn Nets owe them their first-round pick in 2016 and 2018. 

Sandwiched between both unprotected selections, Boston also has the right to swap their pick with Brooklyn's in 2017, in the unlikely event what they have is more valuable. 

But this type of stuff is more interesting to Boston's front office and fanbase than its players. Here's what Celtics guard Evan Turner had to say, per ESPN Boston's Chris Forsberg:

Turner should know. He's a former No. 2 overall pick who never lived up to the bill as a franchise player. 

But he's also right. The draft is a crapshoot, and focusing 100 percent of your energy towards it, no matter who you are, isn't very wise.
