The offseason is in full gear as the NBA Draft is complete and Free Agency is now open. Boston traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porziņģis, Milwaukee signed Myles Turned but also waived Damian Lillard. These are just two examples of the crassness that has already occurred in the NBA Offseason. Brock, Dawson and Hunter give their thoughts on the biggest offseason moves and discuss what teams are putting themselves in the best position to compete for an NBA Championship next season.

It's 2025 NBA Draft day so we're previewing the entire first round with our resident draft expert — Chip Williams — before discussing the Kristaps Porziņģis to Atlanta trade.

Publiskoti 9. klases centralizēto eksāmenu rezultāti, taču daļai absolventu bija apgrūtināta piekļuve tiem traucējumu dēļ portālā "Latvija.lv"; Biedrība Tavi draugi, kas atbalsta kā Latvijas, tā Ukrainas iedzīvotājus, pārceļas uz citām telpām. Kas jāņem vērā potenciālajiem palīgiem un ziedotājiem? Bet šobrīd spožākais Latvijas basketbolists Kristaps Porziņģis spēlēs citā klubā - no Bostonas "Celtics" viņš aizmainīts uz Atlantas "Hawks".

In this jam-packed episode of Bleav in Celtics, host Courtney Tate breaks down all the biggest offseason developments in Celtics Nation. We open with a major health update on Jaylen Brown, who underwent successful knee surgery. Courtney explores the timeline of his recovery and what it means for Boston's offseason plans. Fans have been concerned, but Jaylen's own cryptic post-surgery selfie hints at an already motivated bounce-back — and we're showing the image on screen for the video version. Next, we pivot to head coach Joe Mazzulla, who's made headlines for his surprise scouting trip to the Euroleague Final Four. What does it mean? Is Boston eyeing European prospects? Courtney unpacks the implications of this overseas venture — whether it's about expanding the staff, player development, or potential hidden gems in the draft pool. Then, things heat up as we dive into the offseason trade rumor mill. Courtney lays out realistic options the Celtics might pursue, especially with nearly every player “on the chopping block — except Tatum.” Soundbites from Joe Mazzulla's recent presser emphasize the team's “no guarantees” mentality. After that, Courtney gets into fan reactions — from worries about Al Horford's future, to praise for Aaron Nesmith's Finals run with the Pacers, to whether Celtics ownership transition could impact roster-building. And of course, we can't close without a HOT TAKE: “The Celtics should strongly consider moving Derrick White — if it means upgrading with size and rebounding.” Courtney brings receipts and context to defend the take — it's controversial, but grounded. The episode closes with a tease for next week, which promises coverage of the upcoming NBA Draft, more on Kristaps Porziņģis' recovery, and trade buzz heating up league-wide.
