The Knicks had a choice of taking any two picks from the four Celtics 
second round picks (1998-2001) or the two Denver picks. They already 
exercised one pick in 1998. My guess is that they take Denver's pick
this year.

There's also the Massenberg trade:

TONY MASSENBERG
Traded forward Tony Massenburg and a future second-round draft pick to 
the Vancouver Grizzlies for forward Roy Rogers.

I believe that this pick was sometime in the rather distant future.

I think the Wallace deal was that Miami and Boston switched their second
rounders in 97.

So my conclusion would be that the Celtics have one second round pick
this year.
