CL Pod 023: Trade Reactions, What Happens Now - And Josh Horford!

Danny Ainge went and did it. He traded the first-overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft less than a week before the big day. The news began to leak out Friday night that this deal with the Philadelphia 76ers was in the works, and it only took another day for the two teams to come to an agreement. We took a day to stew on the shocking revelation, and let it out last night on the podcast. Topher Lane and Mark Allison dive into their thoughtson the deal, what it means for the Boston Celtics immediate and long-term plans, and what the hell is going to happen Thursday night. They also get into the news that Paul George has told the Indiana Pacers he's out after next season, essentially forcing them to trade him for whatever they can get. Does it make sense for the Cs to take a shot at a possible one-year rental? They certainly have the assets; could the facilitate a deal to the Cleveland Cavaliers if it nets a solid return? I'm not sure I want to help the Cavs get any better. We even talked to Josh Horford, brother of Celtics' big man Al, about the chaos, and he let Josh Coyne know who he'd like to see in green this summer, and how he feels about Ainge's wheeling and dealing. We'll have loads of coverage in the lead-up to the draft, but this is one episode you do NOT want to miss.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
