Are the Boston Celtics considering a trade with the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 2 pick?
Are the Boston Celtics considering making a trade with the San Antonio Spurs for the No. 2 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft? Such a trade would need to have only one player on the Celtics' roster going out for the Spurs to even consider making such a deal, and that player is star Boston forward Jaylen Brown. Would it make sense for Boston to move off of Brown, given how important he has been as a tandem with star swingman Jayson Tatum? The collective bargaining agreement (CBA)'s brutal second apron penalties may make this a moot point if the front office thinks it cannot win a title as currently constructed, leaving only one other question to be answered: do the Spurs think THEY can win a title by bringing in the Georgia native? Advertisement The folks behind the "New England Sports Network" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show featuring NCAA basketball analyst John Fanta as a guest to talk it all over. Check it out below! This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: Are the Celtics considering a trade with the Spurs for the No. 2 pick?

Paul Pierce shares hilarious take on Victor Wembanyama's baldness
The post Paul Pierce shares hilarious take on Victor Wembanyama's baldness appeared first on ClutchPoints. Victor Wembanyama isn't just preparing for his second season in the NBA. He's transforming. After a stellar rookie campaign that put the league on notice, the 7-foot-3 San Antonio Spurs center decided to go off the grid, per TikTok. Not to a Miami beach. Not to a Vegas penthouse. Wembanyama flew to Zhengzhou, China for a 10-day retreat at the Shaolin Temple, the sacred home of Kung Fu. Advertisement And yes, he went fully bald. Images of Wemby in monk robes, sitting in deep meditation and walking barefoot through temple grounds, quickly went viral. It wasn't just the shaved head that sparked conversation. It was what it signaled. This wasn't about fashion. It was about focus. Former Celtics star Paul Pierce immediately picked up on that energy — and had jokes. Appearing on KG Certified with Kevin Garnett, the duo reacted to Wembanyama's new look. Garnett said, 'He went bald head,' before Pierce jumped in with, 'Oh, he's serious huh?' and 'He off this little pretty boy sh-t.' Then, with his signature straight face, Pierce added, 'I don't care what y'all thinking out here, I'm bald head. I might swing on you.' The delivery had Garnett howling. But underneath the laughs, Pierce tapped into something real. 'He locked in. He off the curls, all that light skin sh-t,' he said. 'Light skin cats don't like cutting they hair like that. They don't even like you touching it.' A different kind of offseason for Victor Wembanyama While most players spend their summer working on their jumper or hitting weight rooms, Wembanyama chose something different. Advertisement According to reports, he adjusted his schedule to fully commit to the Shaolin lifestyle — meditating, eating in silence, learning kung fu forms, and embracing strict discipline alongside monks. For 10 days, the league's reigning block leader stepped away from cameras and into quiet. His trip also included visits to the Great Wall and sampling local street food, but the temple time was no tourist activity. Victor Wembanyama wasn't treated as a star. He was accepted as a student. And that may be the most dangerous part for the rest of the league. He's no longer just the unicorn. He's the monk in the paint, and he might be coming back with a whole new mindset.
