Jrue Holiday Out, Simons In: Celtics Shake-Up + Kevin Durant’s Push for a Title in Houston & Sixers Draft Pressure

The NBA offseason is wasting no time as the Boston Celtics ship Jrue Holiday to Portland for Anfernee Simons—but is this deal really about winning or just about money? Doug Branson is joined by Matt Moore and Haize to break down what the trade signals for both franchises and whether Boston is retooling or rebuilding in disguise. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant lands in Houston in a blockbuster move, and all signs point to him pulling the strings. Is KD now in legacy-repair mode, or is he just continuing his hopscotch through the Western Conference? We also dig into the Daniel Gafford extension in Dallas—why it's less about Gafford and more about trade positioning. Could the Lakers and Mavs be cooking up another deal? And which top 50 NBA player is most likely to get moved on draft night—Jaylen Brown, Darius Garland, or Bam Adebayo? The Sixers are also on the clock at #3—should they take the high-upside Ace Bailey or a safer bet like VJ Edgecombe? Daryl Morey’s job might just depend on it. Plus, which wild card team might blow up the draft? Subscribe and join us for one of the most unpredictable and entertaining offseasons in years.
