The 2016 NBA Draft is here. The Celtics have a bunch of picks in this years draft but none more valuable then the #3 overall pick. The Celtic's now have to make a decision as to what they intend to do with that pick. Will they keep it and draft a player out of college and hope that player becomes a force to be reckoned with. Or will they trade it to another team to get a player who can help the team now. The 30 NBA team's are just over a week away from the chaos of NBA Free Agency beginning which the Celtic's will also be big time player's in as they will have enough money to sign 2 max free agents from this year's free agency market. The top dog being Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder. But that is then the draft is now. The Celtic's come into this draft with 3 first round picks (3, 16, and 23) and 5 second round picks (31, 35, 45, 51 and 58). Will the Celtics trade some of those picks away maybe to get a superstar from a team looking to rebuild or afraid their star will leave like they did in 07 when they traded for Ray Allen. Or will they trade for a role player and just see if they can lure the big fishes in free agency. Or will they just stand pat and draft someone from the college ranks. You can tune in and hear the Celtics Talk Crew announce the Celtic's decision for the #3 pick and see what they think about the move Danny Ainge makes over the next 2 hours on the Celtics Talk Radio 2016 NBA Draft Special.

The 2015/2016 NBA Season for the Boston Celtics for some turned out to be a season over over achievement as the Celtics went 48-34 and tied for the 3rd seed in the Eastern Conference but due to the NBA's tiebreaker system they got forced to be the 5th seed in the playoffs. The Celtics went on to face the 4th seeded Atlanta Hawks and lost to them in 6 games after losing starting shooting guard Avery Bradley in game 1. Now with the Celtics season over Celtic's GM Danny Ainge and the Fans turn their attention to the 2016/2017 season. The first stop on the road to the 2016/2017 season is the NBA Draft Lottery. The 14 teams that did not make the NBA playoffs are put in a lottery drawing to see which 3 non playoff teams will get to pick first in the 2016 NBA Draft. The farther down you finished in the NBA Standings the higher your chances are that you will get 1 of those first 3 picks. The Boston Celtics will be keeping an eye on this event as they own the Brooklyn Nets first round pick for this years draft via the trade that sent KG, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry to Brooklyn a few years ago. The Brooklyn Nets finished with the 3rd worst record in the NBA this season guaranteeing that the pick the Celtics get will be in the top 6 this summer. Here is the info on what picks each non playoff team could get. Obviously the higher the Nets pick is for the Celtics the better it is. The last time the Celtics got a draft pick this high was back in 2007 which the Celtics then sent to Seattle on the night of the NBA Draft in a deal that brought back Ray Allen and you all know what happened after that. So your Celtics Talk Crew will announce the results of the Draft lottery as they come and once its known who has what pick they will discuss what the Celtics should do with their draft picks next month.

The Celtics lost games 1 and 2 in Atlanta to go down 2-0 before coming back to Boston for games 3 and 4 where they went on to tie the series up 2-2 going back to Atlanta for game 5. The Celtics would then proceed to lose game 5 in Atlanta via a blowout and lose game 6 in front of their fans in Boston to end the season. The Celtics lost the regular season series 3-1 to the Hawks so the Hawks had the edge going into the series as it was based on regular season matchup. The Hawks as the 4th seed had the Home Court advantage as well. But the advantages only got bigger for the Hawks as the series Progressed. In game 1 the Celtics lost starting Shooting Guard Avery Bradley for what would be the rest of the series. In that same game Celtics big man Kelly Olynyk was also injured and would end up missing games 2 and 3 before returning to play minimal action in games 4 and 5. Jae Crowder who admitted he was playing at only 75% struggled throughout the series as he was not the same player we saw in the regular season due to his injuries. Your Celtics Talk Crew will now recap alongside special guest Rich Contee the Hawks playoff series. They will discuss what were some of the key issues the Celtics had that caused them to lose this series. Was it simply that they were missing Avery Bradley and were too banged up. How about the officiating which many people including the NBA even admitted screwed up at times in this series. Did that cost the Celtic's.

The Celtics have played only 2 games since the last show. We now enter the home stretch. The final week of the 2015/2016 Boston Celtics regular season. This week is a big week as the Celtics will face off with 3 teams that have been in playoff contention and have been battling for playoff postitioning in the Eastern Conference with the Cetics nearly the last month. The Celtics get ready to do battle with the Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks ad Charlotte Hornets. 2 of which would be at home to finish off the regular season. The Celtics could end up setting themselves up in a position where they choose who they face in round 1 of the playoffs as well as whether its Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers or Kyle Lowry, Demar Derozan and the Toronto Raptors in round 2 that they would meet if the Celtics get by their 1st round opponent. The Celtic player got to player their final game against Kobe Bryant a couple nights ago down in LA. We hear from the Celtic players as to how it felt to say Goodbye to one of the all time greats for the final time as Kobe prepares to walk off into the sunset. An update on the rest of the Eastern Conference playoff picture as well as a look at the Western Conference will be brought up on this edition of Celtics Talk Radio as we are joined by John Karalis of Redsarmy.com

The regular season is almost over. But the Celtics had to go on a trip out west one more time and they are 80% done with it. A 5 game road trip that would see them go at it with the Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trailblazers, Golden State Warriors, and Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics have played the first 4 games and only have the Lakers game left to go before coming back to the East Coast. With less then 2 weeks left in the NBA season its all about the matchups in the NBA. Do you now think about losing games on purpose to avoid a certain team until a certain round. Do you sacrifice games to get your ream healthy even if it means getting a bad matchup in round 1. Those are questions the Celtics will have to answer as many feel the best chance for them to get a big name free agent is to win a playoff round this year and if possible win 2 and the only way to do that is to avoid the Cavs until the Eastern Conference Finals. Meaning you must avoid the seeds that would meet up with the Cavs seed in rounds 1 and 2. Meanwhile what is the latest on the Celtics injury front. Is Jar Crowder back or is his situation looking like another Kelly Olynyk situation which means it could be that he doesnt return until the playoffs begin? What about Jonas Jerebko? Has everyone else stayed healthy? We will discuss those issues on Celtics Talk Radio
