The Los Angeles Clippers/ Kawhi Leonard scandal has dominated the NBA news cycle this week, and for good reason given the potential implications of the cap circumvention allegations the league levied one of the most aggressive penalties ever seen in modern sport. And the Boston Celtics are among the ball clubs in the NBA who may be most impacted by the Clippers scandal.
From the 2028 first round draft pick that the Celtics control off the court, to how the landscape of the Eastern Conference standings may shift as a result of Leonard likely being dealt to the Toronto Raptors, there is no shortage of ways this news may change Boston's future in the Association. So to that end, the hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" linked up with "Third Apron" NBA salary cap expert Yossi Gozlan to take a magnifying glass to all the ways this debacle could shape the Celtics moving forward.
We also get into the trickle of news still bubbling up, from the chatter surrounding seasons ahead and in the past from Boston alumni to former players hanging it up to make the leap to the other side of the clipboard and more. So be sure to tune in!
