  • Who Is Hugo González? Celtics Make a Bold NBA Draft Gamble

    Who Is Hugo González? Celtics Make a Bold NBA Draft Gamble
    2025/06/26
    Did the Celtics just draft a future star or a long-term project at pick No. 28? We dive into the Hugo González selection and what Brad Stevens had to say about the international wing with big upside. From his size and defense to the skills he still needs to polish, we break down what fans should expect from him and how he might transition to the NBA after limited EuroLeague minutes. Plus, Kristaps Porzingis is out and Georges Niang is in as Boston shakes up the roster with a three-team deal. We look at why the Celtics made the move and whether Niang will stick around. We also share our winners and losers from a chaotic Draft Day 1, debate the ESPN broadcast, and judge the best and worst outfits in this year’s “Wicked or Kick It.” And with the Thunder now champs, we ask the big question: how would the 2025 squad stack up against the Celtics from 2024? All that and more on Hold My Banner, hosted by George Balekji and Ountae Campbell.

    Celtics Trade Jrue Holiday for Anfernee Simons: Did Boston Fleece Portland?
    2025/06/24
    Celtics fans are celebrating after Boston pulled off a surprise trade that sent Jrue Holiday to Portland and brought back scoring guard Anfernee Simons. We break down why this move has Celtics Nation buzzing, how it fits into Boston’s long-term plans, and what it means for the team’s cap situation. We also take a deep look at the latest Kristaps Porzingis rumors. ESPN floated a wild three-team trade involving the Bulls and Grizzlies. Is this a smart way to manage the cap or a sign that Boston is making bold moves? Then we preview the 2025 NBA Draft. With picks 28 and 32, what should the Celtics be looking for? Should they focus on frontcourt depth, a long-term point guard, or a reliable wing? And how do rookie contracts help Boston navigate the luxury tax? After that, we drop our way-too-early predictions for the 2026 NBA champions. Can the Thunder go back-to-back? Are the Cavaliers, Pacers, or Timberwolves ready to break through? To close out the episode, we react to the blockbuster deal that sent Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets. What does this mean for the development of young stars like Amen Thompson and Jabari Smith Jr.? Did the Suns get enough in return or is this the start of a rebuild?
