While the Boston Celtics were neck-deep in nonsense trying to determine whether they had indeed landed their primary free agency target yesterday, the rest of the league continued with their own signings, much of which could have significant impacts on the Celts in some way or another. Join Justin Quinn and Luis Gonzalez - formerly of The Players Tribune - as they sort through what might have caused the confusion with the Hayward signing, and as they make sense of what next season's changing landscape might imply for Boston's assets and playoff hopes. Quite a few teams, from the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers to the Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings are trying to improve in a hurry, while a lack of reinforcements for contenders in the east may also ease the path the NBA Finals. There's a lot to chew on, so come with an appetite - and brace yourself for some hard decisions.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redc

Danny Ainge went and did it. He traded the first-overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft less than a week before the big day. The news began to leak out Friday night that this deal with the Philadelphia 76ers was in the works, and it only took another day for the two teams to come to an agreement. We took a day to stew on the shocking revelation, and let it out last night on the podcast. Topher Lane and Mark Allison dive into their thoughtson the deal, what it means for the Boston Celtics immediate and long-term plans, and what the hell is going to happen Thursday night. They also get into the news that Paul George has told the Indiana Pacers he's out after next season, essentially forcing them to trade him for whatever they can get. Does it make sense for the Cs to take a shot at a possible one-year rental? They certainly have the assets; could the facilitate a deal to the Cleveland Cavaliers if it nets a solid return? I'm not sure I want to help the Cavs get any better. We even talked to Josh Horford, brother of

This week, Luis Gonzalez and Justin Quinn break down how the 2017-18 cap situation will affect the teambuilding efforts of the Boston Celtics, and several other teams around the league long-term plans. They also get into some (mostly ineffective) attempts to come up with some nicknames for future and current Celts, touch on the NBA Draft and Summer League, and even get into a little bit on the NBA Finals. If you want to understand how league rules on contracts and rosters might shape what Boston does this offseason without memorizing the entire league's Collective Bargaining Agreement, this is the episode for you.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join Mark Allison and Justin Quinn as they try and predict which current Celtics will still be on the roster come October, and which potential free agents might take their place. They also talk about Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball and other NBA Draft-related issues, and have a little fun at Lebron James' expense while recapping the NBA Finals. This episode even has dramatic readings of original poetry to remember our soon-to-be-former Celtic (we can only assume) Amir Johnson by our own Topher Lane. Trust us, it's the epic masterwork of the ages. Or at least humorous.

This week, Luis Gonzalez and Justin Quinn take a quick look back at the 2016-17 season and Game Five of the Eastern Conference Finals, and a preliminary dive into the MANY options the Boston Celtics have on their plate for what's shaping up to be one of the more exciting offseasons in living memory for Celtics fans. With a boatload of decisions to make and a ridiculous collection of assets at their disposal to grease the wheels, the roster could look very different come training camp, giving this pod - and the summer - a lot to chew on in the best possible way.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

After a nailbiting win almost no one expected, Topher Lane and Justin Quinn take a look back at what went a long way towards dispelling some of the sillier narratives floating around the NBA media of late. They also take a look at potential top pick options in the 2017 NBA Draft on the incredibly unlikely chances Danny Ainge and company make a surprise pick, or perhaps trade back a bit in the draft. Medical concerns with Isaiah Thomas and Guerschon Yabusele are also broken down (no pun intended), and of course the looming showdown at home is previewed in light of the recent life displayed by our Celts in this series.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Luis Gonzalez and Justin Quinn take on the unwelcome tasks of recapping the first two losses in the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Cavs just before Game Three's epic comeback victory, as well as debunking the "worst #1 seed ever" narrative that's been used recently to describe the Celts. We recorded this before Game three yesterday, which went a LONG way to making our point for us in dramatic fashion. We also discuss how the recent All-NBA team announcements may affect Boston's summer teambuilding targets, and take a look at the club's bright future and great season.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join Justin Quinn, Topher Lane, Josh Coyne and a bunch of other guests as we recount the storied career of Boston Celtics legend and First Ballot Hall of Famer Paul Pierce, the "mother#&!% Truth". We cover the highlights (and one especially low moment) of his career, talk about his potential future in the league now that the era of Pierce as a player has drawn to an end, cover his recent words regarding Ray Allen's departure on Area 21, and take the pulse of fans around the league for good measure.
