The Boston Celtics may lose the rights to their 2026 No. 40 pick, Dillon Mitchell, following a recent NCAA eligibility ruling. The hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast discussed the implications of this decision on Mitchell's future in the NBA. While Mitchell could pursue immediate financial opportunities, he risks damaging his association with the Celtics and could end up with a less favorable situation on a rebuilding team.
