    Why the Celtics Might Trade Sam Hauser Before the Season Starts
    Aug 14 2025
    A new report has Sam Hauser on the Lakers’ radar if the Celtics decide to move him. Is Boston really prepared to trade away one of their most efficient floor spacers? We dig into the financial motivations, Hauser’s playoff usage, and whether his role is undervalued in the Celtics' rotation. Then, Celtics legend Bob Cousy questions if Jaylen Brown can lead without Jayson Tatum and hints at a possible rebuild. Is he out of touch or raising valid concerns? We also break down the Grizzlies’ outlook after a major roster shift and ask if the Mavericks are ready to build around Cooper Flagg. All that and more on this episode of Hold My Banner, hosted by Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell.

  • Is Joe Mazzulla the Right Coach for The Celtics?

    Is Joe Mazzulla the Right Coach for The Celtics?
    Aug 12 2025
    Joe Mazzulla just secured a multi-year extension, but is this a sign of long-term trust or a risky move during a transitional year for the Celtics? With Jayson Tatum out indefinitely and key players like Porziņģis, Holiday, and Kornet no longer on the roster, we dig into what this deal says about Boston’s direction and whether Mazzulla has truly earned the keys to the franchise. We also react to the decision to waive Miles Norris and evaluate the current two-way contract group. Plus, we kick off our Southwest Division preview with the Pelicans and Spurs. Is Zion finally ready for a full season, and could Wembanyama leap into MVP talks? All that and more on Hold My Banner, hosted by Kasey Hudson and Ountae Campbell.

  • Who Is RJ Luis Jr. & Why Did the Celtics Trade for Him?

    Who Is RJ Luis Jr. & Why Did the Celtics Trade for Him?
    Aug 7 2025
    RJ Luis Jr. and Chris Boucher are the newest Boston Celtics, but are these under-the-radar moves signs of something bigger brewing in Boston? The Celtics traded Georges Niang and two second-round picks to the Jazz for rookie RJ Luis Jr., then quickly signed Boucher to a one-year, $3.3 million deal. Why bet on a rookie with no NBA minutes? Is Boucher a bargain or just bench depth? Kasey and Ountae break down how these pieces fit Boston’s long-term plans, what it means for their rotation, and whether more moves are still coming. Then, Trae Young likes a Celtics jersey edit on Twitter and the internet explodes. Could this mean anything? Is Trae actually unhappy in Atlanta and would Boston even want to add him to a roster built around Tatum, Brown, and White? Later, the Knicks are lurking around Giannis. If Milwaukee slips, could New York make a serious push? And would adding Giannis to a team with Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson even make sense? Finally, imagine a league where every NBA player is exactly 6'3". Who’s the best in that world? Kasey and Ountae reimagine the game with no height advantages and nothing but skill. Catch it all on this week’s episode of Hold My Banner, hosted by Kasey Hudson and Ountae Campbell.

  • Should the Celtics Trade for Lauri Markkanen?

    Should the Celtics Trade for Lauri Markkanen?
    Aug 5 2025
    Could the Celtics actually land Lauri Markkanen this offseason? Adam and George break down a bold trade proposal and debate whether it’s a title-winning move or a swing too far. Who says no, and would Markkanen make Boston the favorite once Tatum returns? They also react to rumors about Charles Bassey’s interest in joining the Celtics. Would he fill a real need or just clog the bench? Plus, the latest on Jayson Tatum’s recovery sparks a debate: would a late-season return help or hurt the team’s chemistry? Later, the guys ask if Joel Embiid has already done enough for the Hall of Fame and break down De’Aaron Fox’s massive extension with the Spurs. Could he and Wemby be a real threat in the West? Finally, with Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca set to move the Connecticut Sun to Boston, they debate whether the city is ready to fully support a WNBA team.

    Did the Celtics Fail the Offseason? C Grade?!
    Jul 31 2025
    Did the Celtics just blow their offseason? Ben Rohrbach gave Boston a C for their summer moves and we’re breaking down whether the return for Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis was as weak as it looks. Is Anfernee Simons a long-term fit? Which East teams did Yahoo Sports get wrong in their offseason grades? We also look at where the Celtics really stack up heading into 2025-26 and whether fans are right to start using the word "tanking." Later, we react to the NBA's plan to host regular-season games in Berlin and London and wrap up by drafting a full football team made entirely of Celtics players.

  • Did the Celtics Make a Huge Mistake Trading Desmond Bane?

    Did the Celtics Make a Huge Mistake Trading Desmond Bane?
    Jul 29 2025
    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.

  • This Domantas Sabonis Trade Could Make the Celtics Unstoppable

    This Domantas Sabonis Trade Could Make the Celtics Unstoppable
    Jul 24 2025
    Are the Celtics one Domantas Sabonis trade away from dominating the East? We kick things off with a bold mock deal that would send Sabonis to Boston, and debate whether giving up two firsts and key role players is worth it. Could he be the final piece to a championship roster? Then we take a look at new Celtic Georges Niang and what he brings to this squad heading into his 6th NBA team in 10 years. Can his experience help lead this young core? Later, we dive into your viewer questions. Should the Celtics tank for Giannis? Is Ben Simmons worth a veteran minimum flyer? And what’s really going on with Hugo González after a shaky Summer League? Plus, Marcus Smart is a Laker. How will Boston fans react, and can LA revive his career? We close out with a breakdown of Cooper Flagg’s Summer League performance and what it means for his future in Dallas.

  • What Celtics Players NEED To Make A Big Jump In 2025-26?

    What Celtics Players NEED To Make A Big Jump In 2025-26?
    Jul 17 2025
    Which Celtics players must take the next step in 2025-26 if Boston wants to stay on top? We’re talking Payton Pritchard’s case for the starting point guard spot, Baylor Scheierman’s role and defensive concerns, and which young prospects like Josh Minott or Luka Garza could actually crack the rotation. Then we dive into the LeBron James sweepstakes. With Dallas now the betting favorite to land him, how would a move to the East shake up the Celtics' outlook? What does it mean for Bronny James, and should teams seriously consider trading for both? Next up, Bradley Beal is heading to the Clippers. Does this new lineup featuring Harden, Kawhi, and Beal finally make them a true contender, or is it another overhyped roster? We wrap with a fun NBPA guessing game to close things out.
