#6 Ray Allen to the Boston Celtics

In 2007, the Boston Celtics were in the midst of forming a super team. Kevin Garnett was already heading to Boston to join forces with Paul Pierce. Still, the Celtics needed one more piece to form a championship roster.

Danny Ainge, the General Manager for the Boston Celtics, made a master move and acquired Ray Allen and the 35th overall draft pick from the Seattle Supersonics for the No. 5 pick Jeff Green, Wally Sczerbiak and Delonte West. To add to Danny Ainge’s fortune, the 35th overall pick turned into Glen Davis.

With just one trade, the Celtics had acquired the third member of the Big 3 and also a valuable role player in Davis. That seems to be better than most drafts.
The big 3 in Boston went onto win their first championship the following season in 2008 as they defeated they arch rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers, in 6 games and won their first title since 1986.
