Havlicek Stole the Pod 2: What does Jaylen Brown's future in Boston look like next season and beyond?
Star Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown recently revealed that he still might need surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus. How could his injury and all the other issues the Celtics are dealing with impact Boston's future next season and beyond?
With costar on the wing Jayson Tatum also recovering from a major injury in a torn Achilles tendon and a historic payroll and tax bill about to come due, a lot of change to the Celtics might be on the near-term horizon. There are expectations that Boston will trade players to get cheaper, and the injuries to Tatum AND Brown added to the mix have some suggesting splitting them up might be a good idea. Even if the team's front office has no such plans, Boston will be a different team without Tatum -- and perhaps without Brown for a good chunk of the season. How exactly will all these pieces fit together with Brown as the team's No. 1?
The hosts of "Havlicek Stole the Pod" took some time on a recent episode of their show to talk it over. Take a look at the clip embedded below to hear what they had to say about what Brown's future with the Celtics might be next season and beyond.

Is Tyrese Haliburton is a better closer than Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum?
Is Tyrese Haliburton is a better closer than Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum? Star Indiana Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton is a better closer than Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum or Oklahoma City Thunder Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Or at least that is the case that was made by Mike Felger and Tony Massarotti on a recent episode of their eponymous "Felger and Mazz" show on their sports radio channel "98.5 The Sports Hub." And given what we have seen from Haliburton with the Pacers so far in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, there is a case that Hali is indeed a better closer than Tatum or SGA. But does his elite clutch capabilities in one playoff run really put him over these two established stars? The folks behind the "98.5 The Sports Hub" YouTube channel put together a clip from Felger and Mazz's recent debate on the topic. Check it out below to get their takes on whether Hali really is a better closer.
