Celtics Lab 009: Cap navigation in a pandemic, and the NBA’s going to Disney

With the Boston Celtics and NBA poised to return, we helped put together a roundtable to talk about the short-term future of the Celtics and several other teams in terms of everything from the cap in a pandemic to who will be contending in a restarted season and beyond.

With a real return to action for the Boston Celtics and rest of the NBA looking more likely than ever, it was time to fire up the Celtics Lab and talk about the team’s future this season and beyond.

In this episode, we host a special roundtable on the future of the cap in an uncertain moment of NBA history.

Organized and moderated by Chicago-area publicist Andrew Gretchko, we spoke with Early Bird Rights’ Jeff Siegel, SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, Vik Chokshi, formerly of The Big Lead and Derek Spallone of Spallone Sports.

Topics include how the Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, Golden State Warriors and several other teams around the league will be looking to manage cap and contention concerns.
