Are the Celtics just three smart moves away from Banner 19? Cap expert Keith Smith joins the show to pitch the Sensible, Sneaky, and Swing for the Fences moves that could finally get Boston over the hump.

Next, Adam and Ountae each drop three bold predictions for the Celtics' 2025–26 season. These are not safe takes. We are talking hot, possibly reckless calls that could make us look like geniuses or fools by April.

Then we react to LeBron’s so-called Second Decision, which turned out to be a Hennessy ad. Is this really his final season or just another tease?

We close with a deep dive on the New York Knicks. Can Mike Brown take them further than Thibs? Will Brunson or KAT hit MVP form? And are they wasting a championship window by playing it safe?

This episode of Hold My Banner with Adam Kaufman and Ountae Campbell features Keith Smith, Spotrac contributor.
