Did the Celtics just stumble into a blockbuster trade for Kristaps Porzingis that could change everything? This week’s episode breaks down four proposed deals from MassLive involving the Pistons, Clippers, Lakers, and Blazers. We go through each one and give our takes on whether Boston should make a move or hold steady.

We also discuss the Knicks’ decision to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau. Was it the right call after leading the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000? Where did things fall apart, and who should New York consider to replace him?

Then we dive into our full NBA Finals preview as the Thunder take on the Pacers. How will this series perform with fans and viewers? Can Indiana keep up with OKC’s pace, or is this going to be a quick one? We give our Game 1 predictions and series picks.

To wrap things up, we debate Tyrese Haliburton’s place among the NBA’s elite. Is he really a top 10 player like The Ringer suggests? And should he be ranked ahead of Jayson Tatum?

Tune in for all this and more on Hold My Banner with your hosts Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell.
