Here are the details on how the Pistons‘, Wizards‘, Warriors‘, and Mavericks‘ second-round picks will be distributed:

The Celtics will receive the most favorable of the following picks:

1. The Wizards’ second-round pick.
2. The Warriors’ second-round pick.
3. The Mavericks’ second-round pick.
4. The Pistons’ second-round pick (56-59 protected).

The Mavericks‘ will receive the least favorable of the following picks:

1. Their own second-round pick.
2. The most favorable of the Wizards’ second-round pick, the Warriors’ second-round pick, and the Pistons’ second-round pick (56-59 protected).

The Wizards will receive the following two picks:

1. The least favorable of their own second-round pick and the Warriors’ second-round pick.
2. The least favorable of the following picks:
   • The more favorable of their own second-round pick and the Warriors’ second-round pick.
   • The Pistons’ second-round pick (56-59 protected).

If the Pistons’ pick lands in the 56-59 range, it will be sent to the Knicks and the Wizards will instead receive just one pick (the least favorable of their own second-round pick and the Warriors’ second-round pick).

Based on preseason projections, the Mavericks are projected to post the best record of these four teams, followed by the Warriors, Pistons, and Wizards, with Detroit’s pick easily landing in the top 55. In that scenario, given the terms outlined above, the Celtics would receive the Wizards’ second-round pick (the most favorable of the four), the Mavericks would hang onto their own second-rounder, and the Wizards would acquire the Warriors’ and Pistons’ picks.
