The Celtics Starting Center Isn’t Who You Think It Is

Description

Who should be the Celtics starting center on opening night, and could the wrong choice sink their season? We break down the options from Neemias Queta and Luka Garza to Chris Boucher and two-way rookie Amari Williams. Can Boston bring back Al Horford or explore a trade to fill the void without Jayson Tatum?




Then we dive into the Pascal Siakam conversation. Is he the best available option to keep the Celtics in the playoff mix? What would a trade look like, and is the fit worth the cost?




We also preview the Southeast Division, asking if Bam Adebayo can lead the Heat and whether the Magic made the leap from promising to legit after a bold offseason.




All this and more on Hold My Banner with George Balekji and Ountae Campbell.
