Opening night for the Boston Celtics' 2023-24 season opener against the New York Knicks is nearly upon us, leaving little time for the Celtics' front office to make final roster decisions about a number of rotation players, extend or offer full contracts to two way players if they so desire, and to tend to any other issues in terms of how the team will play on both ends of the court that they believe still needs attention for the season ahead.

The team also signed a new two way player to fill the slot left by Jay Scrubb after his ACL injury ended his season with Boston before it began in Nathan Knight, and in a more immediate sense have games against the New York Knicks and Miami Heat for their season and home openers to prepare for.

With all of that in mind, the hosts of the CLNS Media "Celtics Lab" podcast put together one final offseason pod for the summer of 2023 to talk our way through all the above and more.

We also get caught up on the trickle of news left to cover before the games begin to count.
