Al Horford to the Boston Celtics - yay! Well, the big fallacy that the Celts have never signed a major free agent is over.  And it’s more than just that.  The Celts added a major piece.  How much does Horford improve the team? What kind of repercussions does it have in the rest of the Eastern Conference? And will the Celts get Kevin Durant?! Justin Poulin is up early to provide instant analysis to the mayhem.

Howard Beck will also stop by for a few brief moments to rundown the rest of NBA Free Agency.  There’s a ton of money being thrown around, and outside of maybe Horford, a lot of it is on lesser players.  Will a lot of teams regret many of these players signed to these deals? What type of long term impact will it have for the NBA not just on the court, but off? Is a labor crisis looming or is the league just so healthy that nothing will stop the train from rolling along?

 It’s all on this week’s edition of Celtics Beat. Brought to you by Blue Apron, audiblepodcast.com/celtics, Casper, and American Farmer’s Network.  Available for download on iTunes and Stitcher on Sunday, July 3rd 2016.  Powered by CLNS Radio.
