With news that the Boston Celtics might target Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls should Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal prove out of reach of the Celtics, the hosts of the "Celtics Lab" podcast got to thinking on just how hard it is to create a true contender in the NBA right now.

With a fair amount of talent coagulated in just a handful of superteams, the pod's hosts Justin Quinn, Cameron Tabatabaie, and Alex Goldberg tried their hand at creating even vaguely plausible superteams, stretching the definition of that star-studded roster status to its limits in the process.

Join us in the depth of the NBA doldrums as we do our best to make the Celtics into a contender with imaginary trades while talking about the LaVine rumbles, some Celtics moves around the margins, the Hall of Fame, and more.

Listen to the pod embedded above to see how the Celtics might get to superteam status in every way imaginable, including trading for Zion Williamson to standing pat.
