  • How the Kawhi allegations might affect the Celtics, rest of the NBA

    How the Kawhi allegations might affect the Celtics, rest of the NBA
    Sep 5 2025
    There might yet be weeks to go before the Boston Celtics and the rest of the NBA start their training camps, but that doesn't mean the news cycle is slow. In fact, we still have Boston big man Neemias Queta and his Portuguese National Team staying in the mix in FIBA EuroBasket play, some hints that the free agency gridlock keeping vet Celtics alum Al Horford from signing with the Golden State Warriors may soon relax, and a HUGE scandal brewing in the wider NBA. That scandal, which alleges that Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and his team colluded to create a no-show endorsement gig for Kawhi Leonard to pay him more than the cap allows, could have wide-ranging impacts on the entire Association. To get an idea how this significant cap kerfuffle might impact the Celtics and the rest of the league, cohosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over, along with the rest of the news still reaching us at this late date in the offseason.

    How is the NBA's Western Conference looking in a likely down season for the Boston Celtics?
    Aug 27 2025
    How is the NBA's Western Conference looking in a likely down season for the Boston Celtics? Did the Celtics miss a chance to capitalize on the parity era and a weaker West by downshifting their roster after Jayson Tatum got hurt? Or is the Western Conference looking tougher than ever, making it a good moment to retool Boston's roster for the future? To try to get a handle on how the league's West standings may look by the end of the 2025-26 regular season, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Thunder Wire editor Clemente Almanza. We give our over-under projections for the West based on preseason projections and the moves each team have (and in some cases, have not) made, as well as touching on the trickle of news still making the rounds late in the month of August. Tune in to join us as we get our collective bearings on how the Western Conference may look come April 2026 in what might turn out to be a very turbulent season on that side of the standings.

  • All-Time top Boston Celtics villains

    All-Time top Boston Celtics villains
    Aug 21 2025
    Who are the greatest Boston Celtics villains of all time? With the Celtics being the NBA's winningest franchise in terms of both titles and regular season games won, there is no shortage of players, coaches, and execs who have wanted to see Boston fail over the years, preferably at their expense. But there have also been some high profile examples of Celtics betrayal from people inside the storied ball club sticking a proverbial knife into the back of the team. And there are plenty of examples of players who aspired to be Celtics villains, but couldn't quite pull off the status for any number of reasons. There are even some who are entirely miscast in such a role, yet keep getting mentioned as such. To get to the bottom of this important historical debate/peak offseason content, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with Boston-based actor and longtime friend of the pod Evan Turrisini, who has developed the most scientific approach to determining Celtics villainy we have yet come across.

    Aug 19 2025
    The ownership of the Boston Celtics has officially changed hands from Wyc Grousbeck and his Boston Basketball Partners, LTD. group to Bill Chisholm's semi-eponymous Chisholm Group, the Celtics have made a pair of signings, and the NBA's 2025-26 regular season schedule is out in a busy August week of news. What changes now that Chisholm is in charge of the Celtics? Why did Boston wait so long to sign two way big man Amari Williams? Will Ron Harper Jr. parlay his Exhibit 10 deal into another tour with the Maine Celtics, or does he have a shot at making the team? And how is Boston's start to their retooling campaign looking?

Part one of this week's fare focuses on the news with hosts Daniel Donabedian, Justin Quinn, and Alex Goldberg, so check it out in this episode.

  • On whether Boston Celtics owners will help keep the CT Sun in New England, with Noa Dalzell

    On whether Boston Celtics owners will help keep the CT Sun in New England, with Noa Dalzell
    Aug 13 2025
    Boston Celtics owners might help keep WNBA basketball in New England -- or they might help push it out of the region for most of the next decade, if not longer. If that is confusing, that's because the whole situation is, and Celtics owners past and present may play a major role in how the sale of the Connecticut Sun will impact the presence of the league in the Northeast. The Sun are for sale, and former Boston minority owner Steve Pagliuca is fronting a group trying to bring the team to Massachusetts. But he didn't submit an expansion application to the WNBA given he was busy with a bid to buy the Celtics, ultimately seeing a competing offer from current majority owner Bill Chisholm win the day. And Chisholm's group may be in the lead for a Boston WNBA franchise, but one likely to take shape many years in the future. How are the Celtics entangled in this sticky situation? Is there a way to keep the Sun from being poached by a team out of the region? Would it be in Boston, the Constitution State, or some other compromise location? And how do we think this saga will play out? The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" sat down with SB Nation's Noa Dalzell to talk it all over, as well as the rest of the recent NBA news still trickling out. Check it out!

  • East over-unders, plus Mazzulla extension, Boucher deal with Sam LaFrance

    East over-unders, plus Mazzulla extension, Boucher deal with Sam LaFrance
    Aug 9 2025
    With both the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers down their best players heading into the 2025-26 NBA regular season, it is safe to say that the league's Eastern Conference is going to be having a down year. But just how bad is a down year going to be in a conference that has rightfully had the reputation of being the worse of the two by a notable margin for over a decade now? There are some familiar faces among the tank commanders in the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets, but there are also cases to be made that the Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers will trade in their tanks for a competent approach to the season. Most analysts agree that the top of the East is the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks to lose, but do the Orlando Magic, Atlanta Hawks, and Milwaukee Bucks have anything to say about that? And speaking of Boston and Indiana, where exactly do we think these two enigmatic rosters will end up? To get a bead on how the East might look next season, the cohosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with cohost of the CLNS Media "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Sam LaFrance. We also get into the flurry of late-offseason moves made by Boston, from the Chris Boucher signing to the Joe Mazzulla extension and the rest of the news still percolating into the month of August, so be sure to tune in.

  • What the Celtics offseason moves tell us about their future plans, with Yossi Gozlan

    What the Celtics offseason moves tell us about their future plans, with Yossi Gozlan
    Aug 1 2025
    What do the Boston Celtics offseason moves tell us about their future plans for the team? The Celtics dodged what would have been a historic payroll and tax bill by trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, and cutting ties with Luke Kornet, Al Horford, and JD Davison. They also brought in cheaper talent via those trades (Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang), signings (Luka Garza and Josh Minott), and the 2025 NBA Draft (Hugo Gonzalez, Amari Williams, and Max Shulga). This got them under the second apron in total, and Boston now finds their roster within striking distance getting under tax as well. What have they gained from all of these moves in pursuit of Banner 19, and are they actually going to try to get out of the repeater tax? With so many moving pieces, the Celtics could go a lot of different directions, depending on several important factors. To get a better idea of how cap concerns and possibilities might shape that future, the hosts of the "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with The Third Apron cap expert Yossi Gozlan to talk over what might be coming down the pike for Boston this offseason, at the deadline, and beyond.

  • What the Boston Celtics need still need to do this offseason, with Justin Turpin

    What the Boston Celtics need still need to do this offseason, with Justin Turpin
    Jul 25 2025
    The Boston Celtics have waived point guard JD Davison, and with that act, have dipped below the NBA's dreaded second apron. One of their most important bits of unfinished business left for the Celtics in the 2025 offseason, Boston now has a few more pending issues to address, not the least of which deciding whether to use the roster spot opened up by Davison's exit. From the near-certain departure of vet forward Al Horford in free agency to potentially trading one or both of Anfernee Simons and Georges Niang to reduce the Celtics' cap hit, there is still a fair amount of work to be done before training camp rolls around in the fall. Should Boston sign former Los Angeles Clippers big man Ben Simmons, or try to bring on Summer Celtics star Charles Bassey to shore up the big man rotation? Is there another name out there worth pursuing for Boston? The cohosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod," Daniel Donabedian and Justin Quinn (Alex Goldberg is taking the pod off) linked up with WEEI's Justin Turpin to talk about all the latest Celtics news from Davison's departure to Jaylen Brown training with Muay Thai, so be sure to tune in to this mid-summer update of what the Celtics have been up to -- and what they might do next.
