There are rumors starting to swirl involving the Boston Celtics, including some chatter that the Celtics might be poking around getting back into the first round in pursuit of LSU's Tari Eason. John Karalis gets into why that would be an interesting choice, but also very on brand for a team looking to fill its roster with versatile wing defenders. Also, there are a bunch of other rumors and names floating around, including Nicolas Batum, Gordon Hayward (who would be great, but is very difficult to get) and of course -- Bradley Beal (don't get your hopes up). Also: I'm shaving my beard off this week & I decided to have some fun with it & try to raise money for a good cause. So here's the deal: If we can raise $1,000 for Celtics VP Heather Walker's glioblastoma fundraiser, I'll do Friday's podcast w/whatever weird beard style you choose.
