Jeff Goodman from ESPN joins us this week as we inch closer to the NBA Draft in less than 2 weeks.  Jeff blows up both Jon and Justin's top 3 rankings for the Celtics with the third pick.  Jeff throws out the idea of trading Smart and the #16 pick for Nerlens Noel and is willing to give up #23 as well, using the 3rd pick to select Dunn who he tabs as a "New Age Point Guard" and a potential top 5 PG in a few years.  Goodman also threw some cold water on Justin's love for Jaylen Brown, but ended strong by advocating for Sabonis at #16 who is a favorite of both CSL hosts.  We review some value picks at #16/23 and Goodman prepares for backlash by saying that Isaiah Thomas is a #4, maybe #3, on a championship caliber team.  After the interview, Jon and Justin break down the interview and give their take on all the draft analysis, with a hot debate to be continued about whether or not Kevin Love has a spot on this roster.

This week on Celtics Stuff Live we discuss the outcome of the Western Conference Finals and whether or not that legitimately brings Kevin Durant back into the offseason discussion.  Moves from the front office this past week, extending the contracts of Ainge and Stevens has Jon and Justin thinking that may be the case.  And, what offseason would be complete without revisiting Boogie Cousins thanks to an update to the DraftExpress mock draft that saw Chris leap into the 3rd slot.  We answer questions from twitter followers and c​​lose out the show forcing ourselves to pick a favorite player for the 3rd pick and Just braces himself for twitter hate...

Chris Forsberg from ESPN Boston joins CSL just prior to Monday night's OKC meltdown and discussed whether that will make for a memorable off-season for the Celtics courtship of Kevin Durant.  While Chris denies having a man-crush on any one prospect for the Celtics if they make the 3rd, Justin is all in on Jaylen Brown noting that the Cal product moved up on the DX mock draft ahead of Bender, while Jon hopes that LA falls in love with Bender so that Ingram can fall to #3. Finally, we end the show discussing the possibility of no trades and debate whether Ainge and his staff can trust the competitive process moving forward.​

Celtics Stuff Live welcomes Scott Souza from the MetroWest Daily News to the show.  Scott gave his take on the season, the draft lottery, and offseason possibilities for Jared Sullinger.  With water sufficiently poured on the Durant to Boston hopeful fires, we also looked forward to what could be an exciting Finals between the Cavs and Thunder.  After the interview, Jon and Justin answer questions from fans on twitter and debate the potential picks in June's draft as well as the importance that HYPE will play in positioning the Celtics to move the #3 pick for the best possible return.​

Jimmy Toscano fills in for Jon Duke on this week's episode of Celtics Stuff Live.  Now that OKC is heading to the Western Conference Finals, we close the book on the courtship of Durant...or do we?  Diving more into the NBA postseason we also debate if the Hawks showing against Cleveland hurts the Celtics recruiting efforts or if the injuries will mitigate any negative effect.  Obviously, we must discuss the draft lottery coming Tuesday night and Justin goes all out cliche with his negative prediction of the outcome.  To close the show, Justin and Jimmy break down the players they do/do not want back  and who is the most tradeable this offseason.

Sean Grande joins Jon and Justin for the first off-season

episode of Celtics Stuff Live.  Some crazy names get dropped,

like Robert Swift..Marcus Banks..Brandon Hunter..and JR

Bremer...see if you can handle it.  Sean emphasized how the

lack of shooting and hitting open looks really hurt this team in

the postseason, but especially because of the draw against the

Hawks.  We discuss how the Celtics lost both tiebreakers for

playoff seeding and draft position, which did not receive enough

angst at the time.  Looking ahead at the draft, trades and

free agency through the prism of Evan Turner's spectacles and the

benefit of wet cement.​
