Locked on Celtics with Rainin' J's

Jay and John are back with another mailbag to discuss everything the listeners want: Jaylen Brown's role, Gerald Green's impact, the best Celtics regular season game ever, and (of course) trade rumors, among other topics. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

Larry Sanders is an interesting guy, and as he apparently contemplates a comeback, he's having some fun at our expense by posting Twitter polls about which team could use him more. Jay and John pass some late July time discussing what he's doing and what he might do in Boston before getting into some way too early predictions about the Eastern Conference. That got really weird because a lot of teams can be anywhere from pretty good to pretty bad. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #LockedOnCeltics #RaininJs

The Boston Celtics had a busy weekend, agreeing to sign Gerald Green, Tyler Zeller, Demetrius Jackson and Ben Bentil. The team would still like to find a big trade, of course, but could be just about done until training camp. Guest Ryan Bernardoni (aka @dangercart) joins Jay King to discuss all the recent moves, Danny Ainge's mentality regarding trades, and a future deadline (of sorts) for when the Celtics could need to make major decisions -- plus how Bernardoni emerged as one of the most necessary Celtics Twitter follows.

Jae Crowder is NOT happy with Kevin Durant's decision to go to Golden State, and boy did he let us know about it. That's the front-and-center topic today as John solos the show while Jay does a TV spot. Also discussed: The need for Kelly Olynyk to step up this season and recent comments he made about his shoulder surgery and playing time. John shares his radio spot on 96.3 the Big Jab in Portland, Maine and expands on the big topics for you. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #LockedOnCeltics #RaininJs

Jay and John unwrap the mailbag to answer questions about possible Boston Celtics trade partners, the likely starting five, and a whole lot more.

Russell Westbrook's situation stands to be one of the most fascinating of the next couple of months. He could sign an extension to stay with the Oklahoma City Thunder. He could refuse to sign one and force the team to consider the trade market. The Thunder want to extend Westbrook's contract, we know that, so Jay chatted with Fred Katz of the Norman Transcript and the Locked on Thunder podcast. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA #OKCThunder

For some perspective on how Al Horford will change the Boston Celtics, Jay talked to Brad Rowland of Peachtree Hoops and the Locked on Hawks podcast. The two also chatted about Atlanta's strange offseason which included trading Jeff Teague and signing Dwight Howard. #BostonCeltics #NBA #Celtics

The Boston Celtics didn't have a great summer league, but Terry Rozier was great, Jaylen Brown showed off his potential and Guerschon Yabusele left a good first impression on fans. John and Jay hand out superlatives to everyone on the roster with at least a somewhat realistic chance of making the team. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

The Locked on Celtics podcast welcomes the Sporting News' Sean Deveney to discuss his report Boston could target Blake Griffin in a trade. After Jay and John react to the interview, they also bring in Fox Sports' DJ Foster -- who also runs the Locked on Clippers podcast -- to add a bit of Clippers perspective. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

Russell Westbrook might be on the trade market and the Boston Celtics would be obvious suitors if that happens. Summer league action continued, and despite another Boston loss, both Terry Rozier and Jaylen Brown had nice games. Jay and John discuss it all. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

Brad Stevens talked to the media this week and touched on a few different subjects. As Jay flies back from Vegas, John walks us through Brad's comments on getting Al Horford, pitching Kevin Durant, losing Jared Sullinger, where Jaylen Brown is right now, and his reaction to watching Evan Turner get his money! There's a lot of great stuff in this show. Enjoy! #Celtics #LockedOnCeltics #RaininJs

MassLive.com's Tom Westerholm joins Jay to discuss Jared Sullinger's one-year deal with the Toronto Raptors. The two also chatted about Jaylen Brown's summer league to date, which has showcased his potential but also how far he still needs to climb to make an impact at the NBA level. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

The Jared Sullinger era is coming to an end in Boston. This is a bit surprising considering the timing, but the Celtics have their reasons. So, what's next for Boston and Sullinger? What will the Celtics do, if anything, moving forward? And where might Sullinger end up? Enjoy the show! #Celtics #BostonCeltics

In this podcast, Jay and John share an audio clip from an anonymous NBA coach reacting to the Boston Celtics' Al Horford signing. They also discuss Horford's introductory press conference and a little trade speculation circulating the internet. #BostonCeltics #Celtics #NBA

THE BOSTON CELTICS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP... at the Utah Jazz summer league [party hat emoji]. But it was an impressive few games for Terry Rozier, who is separating himself and making strong case to be in the regular season rotation. Not making that case: James Young. Also today, Danny Ainge gave us some insight into the Kevin Durant pitch, which was very interesting. Enjoy the show! #Celtics #LockedOnCeltics #RaininJs
