Jayson Tatum's dad isn't a fan of this Celtics roster — and he said so on a recent podcast, right after Boston doubled down on his son for the long term. Adam Taylor and Mike Webber get into it: whether Tatum himself could be quietly annoyed (and why you can't assume he is), the real case that this roster is better than people think, and the theory that Justin might be planting motivational fuel the way the all-time greats always found a chip on their shoulder.

Should the Boston Celtics sign Ben Simmons? He's reportedly got his athleticism back, and a team out West is rumored to be offering a training camp spot. Adam Taylor and Tim Sheils explore the upside and downside to the Celtics getting involved in a buy-low, high-ceiling flyer at the veteran minimum for Boston's final roster spot.

Simmons is a jumbo playmaker who fills rounds out the Celtics guard rotation. His defensive versatility as a two-time All-NBA Defensive guy would fit perfectly, and if we're being honest, Joe Mazzulla is the ideal coach to get the best out of him...

The Celtics 2026-27 schedule is out — and November looks absolutely brutal. Adam Taylor, Mike Webber and Billy Calabrese break down the full Celtics schedule release month by month: the rough opening stretch against Detroit, New York and the East's best, a November road trip that packs twelve of sixteen games away from home (ten in fifteen days), and the date every Celtics fan already has circled — November 10th, Jaylen Brown's first game against Boston since the trade.

The Boston Celtics still have an open roster spot. Both Bradley Beal and DeMar DeRozan are currently free agents. However, neither veteran fits the current blueprint Brad Stevens appears to be working toward, and any minutes those vets would/could get would limit the development of Boston's younger core.

In today's episode, Adam and Mike dive into the pros and cons of DeRozan and Beal, before giving their reasons on why neither would make sense for the Celtics as they head into the new season.

According to reports, the Boston Celtics tried to trade Jaylen Brown back in February. Does that mean Brad Stevens always planned on shipping Brown out before the end of the summer? If so, why not do it ahead of last season, when the Celtics could have tanked for a high draft pick?

Jordan Walsh has signed a three-year, $16 million contract extension with the Boston Celtics — and the deal says as much about the franchise as it does about the player. Adam Taylor, Tim Sheils and Mike Webber break down why this is another win for the NBA's most reliable developmental pipeline: the contract structure (including a team option that could become a steal), Walsh's shooting leap from 22% to 38.4% from three, the aggression trend hiding in his free throw numbers, and why Boston keeps turning second-round picks and undrafted players into paid pros — from Sam Hauser to Neemias Queta to Luke Kornet.

LeBron James to the 76ers is official — a two-year deal that tips the East's balance of power firmly toward Philadelphia. Adam Taylor and Tim Sheils break down what it means for the Boston Celtics: why the Jaylen Brown trade doesn't deserve revisionist history (and why Paul George's usage actually fits next to LeBron better than Brown's would have), the one-ball problem — five of the NBA's 37 highest-touch players now share one roster — and why Brad Stevens shouldn't change a thing about Boston's two-year plan.
