Did the Celtics Make a Huge Mistake Trading Desmond Bane?

What if the Celtics never traded Desmond Bane on draft night? We open the show by looking back at ESPN’s ranking of every NBA team’s biggest roster mistake since 2020, where Boston landed at number 22 for dealing away Bane and Enes Kanter in exchange for just two second-round picks. How would Bane have changed the Celtics trajectory if he stayed in green? We also talk about the decision to waive JD Davison, what it means for the team’s cap sheet, and who should fill the open roster spot. Is Ben Simmons worth a shot or should the Celtics stay patient? And if not Simmons, who is a realistic free agent or trade target? In the second segment, we react to your takes on a proposed Domantas Sabonis trade that has Celtics fans completely divided. Is Sam Hauser underrated or overrated? And are the Celtics heading for a 41-win season or something more? Then we jump into offseason grades for the Western Conference. Who improved the most and who might have fumbled the bag? We wrap it up with a quick game of NBPA Poeltl to see if we can guess the mystery player before you do. All this and more on the latest episode of Hold My Banner with Adam Pellerin and Ountae Campbell.
