    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?
