There has been a lot of talk about the NBA adding a midseason tournament, but the issue of how to get the Boston Celtics and the other 29 teams in the league on board with playing it has been something that has not had enough discussion or fleshing out by those in favor of such a novelty to the league calendar.

On the latest episode of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast, hosts Cameron Tabatabaie, Alex Goldberg, and Justin Quinn put their heads together to come up with some out-of-the-box ideas that might accomplish at least some of the above goals.
