Celebrity row is the hottest seat in town, especially during the NBA playoffs — and tickets aren't available for purchase because it's invite only.

'It's the biggest names in the front row,' an insider familiar with obtaining celebrity row seats for their clients told The Post.
'B-list tends to be harder,' the source said.

Former Knicks PR chief and media consultant Joe Favorito told The Post if you don't bleed blue and orange, you're not getting onto celebrity row — no matter how famous you are.
'In Boston, Dana White was sitting with a Celtics jersey — you wouldn't see him in Celebrity Row,' Favorito said. 'You can be sitting other places if you're rooting for the opposing team, but it's not like you're going to get access if you're not wearing orange and blue.'

Knicks Expected To Be Rejected On Yet Another Sitting Head Coach
MILWAUKEE, WI - NOVEMBER 19: Head Coach Jason Kidd of the Milwaukee Bucks talks to Giannis ... More Antetokounmpo #34 on the sidelines during the second quarter against the Golden State Warriors at BMO Harris Bradley Center on November 19, 2016 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. NOTE TO USER: User expressly acknowledges and agrees that, by downloading and or using this photograph, User is consenting to the terms and conditions of the Getty Images License Agreement. (Photo by) The Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau more than a week ago and still don't have a replacement. It's not clear what their plan was going into this other than to try to poach a sitting head coach of another team. Now they appear to have run into yet another roadblock on that front. ESPN's Shams Charania reported that the Dallas Mavericks are expected to turn down the Knicks' request to speak with Jason Kidd. He also reported that the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves turned New York down on interviewing their head coaches, Ime Udoka and Chris Finch, respectively. On WFAN's 'Boomer and Gio,' hosts Boomer Esiason and Gregg Giannotti joked Wednesday morning that the Knicks should just re-hire Thibodeau and admit they made a big mistake. Thibodeau took out a full page ad in The New York Times thanking the fans and players for his tenure in New York. Thibodeau was fired despite leading the Knicks to their first conference finals in 25 years. Some players reportedly weren't happy with his coaching style, which featured playing his starters a ton of minutes and a perceived inability to adjust. With Kidd, Finch and Udoka off the table, the Knicks appear to be limited to coaches without current head coaching jobs, including former Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone and Cleveland Cavaliers associate head coach Johnnie Bryant.

How can the Boston Celtics get under the luxury tax?
How can the Boston Celtics get under the luxury tax for the coming 2025-26 NBA regular season? The Celtics are currently set to trigger some of the harshest second apron punishments laid out by the league's collective bargaining agreement (CBA) due to their incoming, historic payroll and tax bill. That, coupled with the fact that star Boston forward Jayson Tatum will likely miss all (or at least most) of next season makes for a likely mandate from the team's front office to trim some salary from the roster. Who are the most likely candidates to get dealt into another ball club's cap structure before the 2026 NBA trade deadline? The conventional wisdom is that it will be one of Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, or Sam Hauser, but is there another way to get such a move taken care of? Advertisement The folks behind the "98.5 The Sports Hub" YouTube channel put together a clip from a recent episode of their "Toucher and Hardy" show with guest Brian Robb of Mass Live. Check it out below to hear what they had to say. This article originally appeared on Celtics Wire: How can the Boston Celtics get under the luxury tax?

Mavericks reportedly expect coach Jason Kidd to remain in Dallas; Knicks denied permission to speak with Ime Udoka and Chris Finch
Amid speculation that he may become the new head coach of the New York Knicks, the Dallas Mavericks fully expect Jason Kidd will remain with the organization for the foreseeable future. The Mavericks have been privately insisting to key stakeholders that Kidd will not be leaving the franchise this offseason, according to The Athletic's Christian Clark and Sam Amick. Instead, Kidd is reportedly hoping to parlay the Knicks' interest in him into a new contract extension with the Mavericks. Advertisement Specifics of that deal, including what it will look like or when it will be finalized, are not yet known. The report comes amid speculation the Knicks — who fired coach Tom Thibodeau last week following their exit from the Eastern Conference finals — would try to make a play for Kidd. The organization has serious interest in hiring Kidd, per The Athletic, though they had yet to request permission to speak with him as of Tuesday evening. The Knicks did, however, recently request permission to speak with Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch and Houston Rockets head coach Ime Udoka for their open job, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. They were denied on both requests. Kidd has spent the past four seasons with the Mavericks. He's compiled a 179-149 record and led them to their first NBA Finals appearance last season since 2011, when the team still had star Luka Dončić on the roster. While Dončić has since been traded away, the Mavericks won the NBA Draft lottery this spring and are now in position to select Duke star Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick later this month. Advertisement The Mavericks also struck a deal to hire longtime assistant Jay Triano on Tuesday. Triano, who was last on Mike Brown's staff in Sacramento, will join the team as a lead assistant. According to The Athletic, Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison made it clear to Triano that Kidd would be the team's head coach next season when hiring him. The Knicks surprised the NBA world last week when they parted ways with Thibodeau, who led the team to the conference finals for the first time since 2000. He brought the team back to relevance, too, and made four postseason appearances in five years after a seven-year drought from the playoffs. There are several notable names who could replace Thibodeau in New York, though that coaching search is just getting started. New York is the only team in the league without a head coach.
