The Boston Celtics are in the middle of one of their busiest weeks in modern memory in terms of team building, trading away core pieces of their 2024 title team while trying to remain contenders in the near-term future and also getting cheap enough to slide under the second apron. Did we mention the 2025 NBA draft is also almost upon us?

Boston's front office has a host of stuff going on to set the team up for the chase for Banner 19, theoretically capable of starting as soon as late next season if the best-case scenario for Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury plays out. But even as unlikely as that is, it is clear that the Celtics plan to thread the needle these goals call for, and have done much of the work by dealing away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis. In this week's show, "Havlicek Stole the Pod" has Daniel Donabedian of ClutchPoints joining hosts Alex Goldberg and Justin Quinn to break down how these moves impact Boston's future, as well as what we would do at the 2025 draft if we were in charge of the Celtics.

There was also a ton of news to reflect on, from Lakers sales and the 2025 NBA Finals among many other things, so tune into this busy and important episode of the show.
