Allowing NBA tampering, Clippers' Kawhi Leonard investigation with New York Times' Sopan Deb Jul 26, 2019

Show notes

"This transaction stuff, it's good for the league." The New York Times' Sopan Deb dropped by Havlicek Stole the Pod to fill us in on the NBA's tampering investigation. Several sources believe it involves the Clippers' pursuit of Kawhi Leonard and hidden promises. As Adam Silver pitches tampering reform, Deb makes the case: the NBA should allow it. Since it happens anyway, there's slim odds of stopping it, should basketball allow open tampering? We love the show, it'd surely add to it, and flare tensions. We also discuss where the cost to acquire a star via trade is going in the future. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Al Horford introduced by 76ers, a Kemba Walker interview and will the Celtics sign Tacko Fall? Jul 14, 2019

Show notes

Jared Weiss traveled to Japan and unexpectedly found Kemba Walker. A sit-down interview progressed and soon the Celtics had Charlotte's point guard. Are tampering fines in order? We did discuss tampering plenty, with Marcus Morris' retreat from the Spurs after agreeing to sign and countless backroom deals is it time for change? Jared called for a ban on players who back out of agreements. Tacko-mania did not dodge the show. Weiss does not see him making the active roster, which leaves him open to teams that would do that. As for the 15th spot, Boston is far enough below the luxury tax to guess and check some players at the bottom of the roster. Al Horford got introduced by the 76ers today. Allowing us to ask one more time: how did it come to this? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Would the Celtics have signed Durant with the torn achilles to appease Kyrie? Nick Gelso and Josue Pavon discuss the shifting wave toward player empowerment in the NBA. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving reportedly coordinated destinations. Reports of Kemba Walker finalizing a move to Boston rose days before the moratorium. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George sought out the Clippers as a shared destination, forcing LA and OKC into a mega trade.

NBA Free Agency Mega Show, Al Horford leaves Celtics for 76ers and Kevin Durant choses the Nets Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

Bobby Manning and Alex Kungu's live super show. First eight minutes wrapped the late night signings, including Al Horford putting the speculation to rest and officially leaving the Celtics. Hope remained during the day for a Boston sign-in-trade which we discussed in our first half hour. Terry Rozier will still head to the Hornets through that outlet. Boston will have more money to spend on a big man now, as we hit on in the second half hour with Justin Poulin. Third half hour: a laugh at the Knicks and their bogus excuse on Kevin Durant.

NBA Draft Celtics gut reactions, Aron Baynes trade and Romeo Langford Jun 21, 2019

Show notes

Celtics take a clear stand on draft night. They carved out as much cap space as they could, drafted a few gritty non-shooters and traded Aron Baynes to Phoenix. In other words, they stuck to their guns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
