The Boston Celtics offered four first-round picks to the Charlotte Hornets for the chance to move up from No. 16 to No. 9. The Celtics were targeting Justise Winslow while the Hornets were settled on taking Frank Kaminsky.

The Celtics offered the 16th pick, No. 15 (acquired in a prearranged contingency deal with the Atlanta Hawks), one unprotected future Brooklyn pick, and a future first-rounder from either the Memphis Grizzlies or Minnesota Timberwolves.

Some members of the Hornets' front office wanted to do the deal with the Celtics, but Michael Jordan preferred Kaminsky over first rounders outside the lottery.

“If it was such a no-brainer for us, why would another team want to do it?” said Rich Cho.

The Boston Celtics have acquired Zoran Dragic and a second round pick from the Miami Heat.

The pick is unlikely to ever change hands.

Miami will also send cash to Boston to help cover Dragic's salary. The trade helps the Heat considerably with the luxury tax.

The trade did not upset Goran Dragic, who is hoping his brother will get more chances at playing time with the Celtics.

The Celtics were able to take Dragic into their salary-cap space.

The Boston Celtics have signed the 33rd overall pick in the 2015 NBA draft, Jordan Mickey, to a four-year, $5 million contract, league sources told RealGM.

Mickey’s deal contains two years guaranteed, sources said. The Celtics announced the signing on Monday. It marks the richest second-round deal in league history.

During the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas and Utah, Mickey averaged 12.3 points, 7.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in eight games — separating himself as one of Boston’s best young assets. The 6-foot-8 forward also shot 52.7 percent from the field while playing 28.1 minutes a game.

With the Celtcs, Mickey will earn the contract of a first-round selection.

Mickey declared for the NBA draft after his sophomore season at LSU, where he averaged 15.4 points and 9.9 rebounds per game.

The Boston Celtics have waived guard Phil Pressey.

Pressey, a 5’11” guard, was originally signed by the Celtics on July 22, 2013. During the 2014-15 season, he averaged 3.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 12.0 minutes per game. He recorded a season-high 11 points, five rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in 18 minutes of action on March 25, 2015 against the Miami Heat. On his career, Pressey is averaging 3.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 13.8 minutes per game.

The Boston Celtics and Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed upon a trade involving Perry Jones III.

The Thunder will save approximately $7 million on the luxury tax by unloading Jones.

Jones was the 28th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft out of Baylor and has a career PER of 8.5 in 1,675 career minutes.

The Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets have recently held discussions on a trade involving Danilo Gallinari.

Gallinari is entering the final season of his contract.

The Celtics would like to improve their perimeter shooting and more than half of Gallinari's attempts last season were three-pointers.

Gallinari averaged 12.4 points in 24.2 minutes in his first year back from ACL surgery.

The Golden State Warriors have traded David Lee to the Boston Celtics for Gerald Wallace. No other components are included in the trade.

The Warriors can use the stretch provision on Wallace, whereas they couldn't on Lee since his contract came during the NBA's previous CBA. Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports reports the Warriors plan on keeping Wallace.

Lee was also on a larger contract than Wallace worth $5 million more.

Brandon Bass has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers.

Bass had been with the Boston Celtics since 2011.

Bass gives the Lakers depth in the frontcourt.

Jonas Jerebko re-signed with the Boston Celtics on a two-year, $10 million deal.

Jerebko was acquired in a February trade by the Celtics from the Detroit Pistons.

“Feels great to be back in green and white!” Jerebko posted on his Twitter account Wednesday.

The 6-foot-10-inch, 231-pound forward averaged 7.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 29 games with Boston. He also made 40.6 percent of his 3-point attempts.

Boston Celtics restricted free agent Jae Crowder has reached agreement on a five-year, $35 million contract to re-sign with the organization, league sources told RealGM.

The Celtics and Dallas Mavericks were leaders in pursuit of Crowder during the first day of free agency, but Crowder and Boston made progress and agreed to terms late Wednesday night.

Crowder, the 34th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft, spent his first two seasons with the Mavericks before being dealt midway through the year to Boston.

In 57 games for the Celtics, Crowder established himself as a two-way presence for Brad Stevens, averaging 9.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 24.2 minutes per game. He scored 10.8 points and grabbed five rebounds a game in the postseason.

Crowder and the Celtics had long made clear their mutual interest in reuniting, and the 6-foot-6 forward has used the offseason to return to the stellar form he displayed before a season-ending knee injury against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the playoffs.

Out of Marquette, Crowder, 24, has averages of 5.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and one assist in three NBA seasons.
