    Celtics About to Trade Kristaps Porzingis? These NBA Trade Rumors Are WILD!
    Jun 5 2025
    Did the Celtics just stumble into a blockbuster trade for Kristaps Porzingis that could change everything? This week’s episode breaks down four proposed deals from MassLive involving the Pistons, Clippers, Lakers, and Blazers. We go through each one and give our takes on whether Boston should make a move or hold steady. We also discuss the Knicks’ decision to fire head coach Tom Thibodeau. Was it the right call after leading the team to its first Eastern Conference Finals since 2000? Where did things fall apart, and who should New York consider to replace him? Then we dive into our full NBA Finals preview as the Thunder take on the Pacers. How will this series perform with fans and viewers? Can Indiana keep up with OKC’s pace, or is this going to be a quick one? We give our Game 1 predictions and series picks. To wrap things up, we debate Tyrese Haliburton’s place among the NBA’s elite. Is he really a top 10 player like The Ringer suggests? And should he be ranked ahead of Jayson Tatum? Tune in for all this and more on Hold My Banner with your hosts Travis Thomas and Ountae Campbell.

    Celtics Star to the Knicks Rumors Heating Up
    Jun 3 2025
    Are the Knicks really trying to land a key Celtics veteran? Al Horford’s name is popping up in New York rumors, and we break down what a move like that could mean for both franchises. With Austin Ainge leaving the Celtics front office, could more shakeups be on the horizon? We also dive into some wild trade scenarios. Would you swap Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo? How about Jayson Tatum for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? These fantasy deals are sparking debate, and we weigh the pros and cons of each. The Knicks are at a crossroads, and Paul Pierce didn’t hold back with his take. Should New York keep Karl-Anthony Towns and Tom Thibodeau or blow it up and start fresh? And with every team that lost in the Eastern Conference Finals since 2022 making the Finals the next year, should they stay the course? Then we preview an unexpected NBA Finals matchup between the Thunder and Pacers. Will the ratings suffer, or is this series going to surprise people? Who deserves Finals MVP, and what are the keys to Game 1? With the 2025 NBA Draft three weeks away, we also look at what the Celtics should do with the 28th and 32nd picks. Should they move up or stay put? Are there trade packages worth exploring? And is there any realistic path to seeing Cooper Flagg in Celtic green? All that and more in this episode of Hold My Banner, hosted by Adam Pellerin and Ountae Campbell.

    Would you actually trade Jayson Tatum for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? We’re breaking down the wildest Celtics trade rumors making waves right now, including a potential Jaylen Brown move to Memphis, Derrick White heading to Dallas, and Kristaps Porzingis possibly landing in L.A. We preview Game 5 of Knicks vs. Pacers as New York fights to stay alive, and recap the Thunder’s dominant closeout win over Minnesota. And how does this Thunder team compare to the 2011-12 squad that went to the Finals? Plus, what’s next for the Timberwolves after another heartbreaking playoff exit? Should they chase Julius Randle, run it back, or blow it up? And don’t miss the return of Wicked or Kick It as we rate the latest fits from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Tyrese Haliburton, and PJ Tucker.
