Could the Red Sox or Celtics have the biggest new player in Boston

The Boston Celtics are entering the 2025-2026 NBA season with an unimaginably diminished roster, with Jayson Tatum likely to miss the entire season. Can the "Big 3" of Payton Pritchard, Derrick White and Jaylen Brown lead them on a deep-ish playoff run? Will the general lack of talent in the East make the Celtics winners by default? We make our East predictions for the season, and outline and pros and cons of different approaches to the upcoming season.

Shifting gears, the dialogue takes a comedic turn as they discuss the renewed relevance of once dormant TV shows. Zach brings his pitch for "Dexter Resurrection," the thrilling continuation of the acclaimed series, analyzing what it's like juggling prequels and sequels and how this modern rendition might even eclipse the original. Expect unexpected revelations and enthusiastic endorsements that bridge the gap between old fans and potential new ones. Entertainment takes center stage with humorous takes on Happy Gilmore's sequel, offering insights into its mix of nostalgia and fresh comedy that tries to recapture the soul of 90s films.

On this special episode of B-Ball Radio, Boston and Celtics historian Dart Adams joins Eric Newman, as they celebrate the late great Reggie Lewis, who passed away 32 years ago on July 27, 1993. Over three decades later Reggie's impact is still being felt in Boston and across Celtics nation. Taking the torch from Larry Bird, battling Michael Jordan head-to-head, and becoming one of the best two-way players in the league, Reggie was a rising star on and off the floor as his community presence and generosity was as impressive as his jumper. One of the NBA's greatest what ifs, Reggie became Captain of the Celtics in 1992, before what would shockingly be his final season.

0:00 ... Show Open ... Ross welcomes the panel and makes his dedication of show #166 to Jonathan Kuminga and Russell Westbrook who both shot just 66% from the free throw line last season.  Bruce registers his disappointment with Ross's choice and suggests someone else. 1:54 ... The Charlotte Hornets are the NBA Summer League Champions ... Rookie Kon Knueppel led the way for the Hornets and we all learned the proper pronounciation of his first and last name.  The future looks promising for the Hornets after a string of losing seasons, but health will be a huge issue for the "Bugs." 7:53 ... Bruce wants to give some love to Bronny James, who looked like a different player in the Summer League and could be poised to do well this season. 9:04 .... The WNBA All Star Weekend made all kinds of news, especially with their warmup T-Shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us."  The crew examines why the players in the "W" deserve more money and make suggestions on who should pay it. 13:09 ... As for the WNBA All Star game itself ..... it was a big bummer ... Rookie All-Star Paige Bueckers and ABC's Elle Duncan both trashed it on the air for the lack of defense and effort .... OUCH. 15:29 ... Bradley Beal certainly got paid and also got a ticket out of Phoenix to Los Angeles.  His departure from the Valley leaves lots of wreckage behind as the Suns will need to stretch $97 million of his salary over the next 5 seasons, causing a major financial hurdle for a team that needs more talent.  As for the Clippers, they have a lot of old dudes and are a textbook example of a "Win Now" team.  And with the addition of 40 year old Chris Paul, the clock is definitely ticking on the veteran team's "window." 22:00 ... With all the old guys on the Clippers, the crew suggests sponsors whose logos can appear on the uniform jerseys of the team.  Everyone took a shot and Ross's choice of "Depends" adult diapers was the clear winner among the crew. 23:40 ... 35 year old Damian Lillard is returning to the Portland Trailblazers and with the recent acquisition of another 35 year old guard, Jrue Holiday, the 48 Minutes crew is scratching their collective heads as to what the strategy of the team will be.  Does it mean that Scoot Henderson is on shaky ground with the Blazers? 28:56 ... Ross leads a discussion on Giannis and whether any of these moves might make him appreciate being in Milwaukee. 31:42 ... Former Celtic Marcus Smart will soon join the Lakers after being bought out by the Wizards.  Bruce and many other Celtics fans are all "up in their feelings" over this move. 35:05 ... Victor Wembanyama has been cleared to play again after suffering from blood clots in his shoulder last season.  These are exciting times in San Antonio with Wemby joining Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper on a team that will be a "League Pass Obsession." 37:53 ... The New Orleans Pelicans are looking like a hot mess tossed into a dumpster fire.  They've spent the entire off season making one questionable move after another.  Over the weekend, their top rookie Derik Queen suffered a wrist injury that will sideline him for three months.  New boss Joe Dumars is off to a "bumpy" start to say the least. 42:35 ... Good news in Denver .... recently acquired Jonas Valanciunas has agreed to stop his pursuit of a deal with a team in Greece and will play for the Nuggets as the backup for Nikola Jokic.  It's the right thing to do and the Denver fans deserve his best effort, even if he just plays one season for the Nuggets. 45:24 .... This week it's Ross's turn to try and stump his partners with this week's "Card Challenge."  Some of the players that Ross used to put Bruce and "World B" on the spot were Brandon Roy, Marcus Camby, Yao Ming, David Lee, Gary Payton, Andre Iguodala, Bruce Bowen, and Dwight Howard. 53:48 ... Ross wraps things up and says goodbye ... TRT 54:05
