Giannis Antetokounmpo is “very intrigued” with joining the Boston Celtics due to their depth and ability to contend for championships, per @sam_amick
I am also very intrigued to play as a starter for the Boston celtics
I can start right now, league minimum is more than acceptable!
You can’t just say that out loud. It’s a Union. You sign and a grumble the whole time
Yea I’m his agent. It’s supermax or we walk.
Ill play for free.. 😂
I had this dream once. In it I was a guard coming off the bench, backing up Smart and Avery Bradley. I was so f-ing bad dude. Like couldn’t dribble or shoot. Crowd didn’t even boo - they just felt bad. And I felt like I let the team and Brad down. What a way to start the day.
Anyway, C’s in 9 ☘️
I think I was there. I saw you as I was Slaaaaaam Jammmmin it.
[deleted]
Bold of you to assume hes not a 7 foot tall freak athlete
Giannis has options. You don’t.
Me playing for the Celtics is as likely as Giannis
OKC can offer the bucks the most for him.
Well if you’re intrigued then you’re the new starting center
I am 6’7 but also 53 years old
I am tired bruh
Bucks fans must be exhausted lmao
As a Bucks fan I’m not exhausted anymore.
We really have no more moves to make so he can’t leverage anything else.
All that is left is trading him which right now feels like it is leaning MIA with “reports” of POR and now BOS to try and increase the price.
Miami seems dumb to me. Sure Spo is a great coach and the front office is generally capable, but it feels like he would be getting traded into a team good enough to make a bit of noise but not be a true contender. Giannis and Bam aren’t even a great fit together, because neither operates that much beyond the 3 point line.
Portland seems unlikely, but I guess weirder things have happened. Giannis going out west and having to deal with OKC and the Spurs on a roster with Deni as his number 2, doesn’t add up to me.
You’re not wrong.
The Portland rumors stem from him wanting to play with Dame/Jrue again.
I don’t see Miami as a legit contender in the East given all the depth they’d lose.
FWIW BOS is my preference for Giannis because of the value we’d get from flipping JB to a 3rd team. The biggest hold up would be what else BOS would include because MIL would want more and BOS would probably demand a 1v1 swap.
Honestly, JB for Giannis 1 for 1 isn’t a great deal for Boston unless Jaylen wants out. Brown is younger without the lengthy injury history or clear projections of aging less gracefully than some. That closes the length of the window a bit and doesn’t fit ideally with their style. That said, it makes them even stronger in the short term assuming Giannis is actually healthy for the playoffs.
1 for 1 for Jaylen if it is Brown going out is all the Celtics sub wants to do, and even then, only if he wants out.
Brown is younger without the lengthy injury history or clear projections of aging less gracefully than some.
Brown is two years younger. I will argue lengthy injury history and projections of aging. Obviously this year the bucks were terrible and Giannis didn’t play much due to first an injury, so if that’s what you are going off as “lengthy” sure I guess.
In the seven seasons before this season he was first team all NBA. This is what their games played comparison looks like. First column Giannis, second JB.
GA. JB
2024⁄5. 67. 63
2023⁄4. 73. 70
2022⁄3. 63. 67 (AllNBA 2nd team)
2021⁄2. 67. 66
2020⁄1. 61. 57
2019⁄0. 63. 58
2018⁄9. 72. 74
Giannis played more games 5 of the last 8 seasons
2025⁄6 stats: Giannis 27.6⁄9.8⁄5.4 JB 28.9⁄6.9⁄5.1
In Giannis’ worst season he scored 1.3 fewer ppg than JB. At no point in the last seven years had JB led another major statistical category over Giannis.
And it was only last year that Giannis was top 3 in MVP race. Only delusional fans won’t want Giannis if it’s a 1 for 1 trade.
I think its reasonable to be concerned with the team fit offensively. The ball needs to be in Tatum’s hands on offense. Of the two (Tatum / Giannis) he’s the better three level scorer and a better facilitator. Giannis is certainly better at getting downhill than Brown or Tatum, but he’s significantly worse of an off ball player that either of them because of his lack of shooting and movement.
Frankly it feels like the Dame situation in Milwaukee (with the roles reversed). Aging, ball dominant star (Dame was 33) joining a ball dominant star in their prime (Giannis was 28 at the time).
But if giannis is worse off ball why not have him be the focal point while tatum gets more off ball actions due to giannis’ gravity
Giannis has missed key stretches and been hurt in the playoffs during those times. And a guy whose game is built on power and athleticism, that 2 years older matter when the other guy is more skilled.
I’m not saying Giannis is awful by any means but there’s certainly some risk there and a shortening of the window, albeit increasing the odds of the ceiling if he’s right. that means, to Celtics fans, it’s 1 for 1 and even then, only if Jaylen wants out
While that’s 100% true, he hasn’t exactly had a Jayson Tatum to share the load with, he was carrying the bucks on his back for years… here he can defer to Tatum and save some mileage. Going from being the only real option to being a 1b (I still think it would be tatums team) would be the type of move that extends the career of a guy like him
True
Cool story bro. Now do the playoffs
Im not sure JB really is less injury prone
JB has had injuries that he could play though well enough to still be excellent for the most part. Giannis has had to miss playoff games almost every year since 21. It isn’t really the same
Agreed in the short term being better. I worry about Giannis fitting in, ie if he comes in and tries to take over the team and just do his thing without playing within the system. The injuries are… Meh. If Brad does the trade, he must be ok with the injuries, so I would be too.
Another arguing for Giannis is that Boston could set it up nicely to have multiple contracts come off the books sooner than if JB was on the team (cause at that point, if JB gets another contract he should be a lifer), allowing for a max FA to join, giving another window (when JB+JT in 5 years might not be championship worthy).
For sure. Listen, Giannis is best possible scenario if Jaylen wants out. We all get that. I just would rather he doesn’t want out. I’m not sitting here saying I’d be mad we got Giannis by any means
We basically have a 3 year window until Tatum is a free agent. Could even be 2 years if we disappoint and he shows signs of wanting out. Jaylen isn’t going to be remotely as good as Giannis during that span. Getting him in a 1 for 1 would be an incredible win.
Least delusional homer, JB is not even close to Giannis’ level.
In their prime, sure. Giannis hasn’t won a series in four years. Many people are nervous. He’s at the edge of starting to fade and I don’t think he’s gonna age super gracefully. It’s not about the past. It’s about the future and how long and strong the future is. No doubt Giannis laps JB career wise, but I’m not sure that’s true if we project out the next five years.
Right now, today, he is leagues ahead of JB as a player. If you look at the roster around him its shocking they have even had playoff runs, trying to pin whole playoffs series on him when hes averaging insane numbers on insane efficiency is crazy work. JB cant even deliver a single big game when we need him to show up, hes a front running player with no clutch. Hes an athletic volume scorer with good 1 on 1 defensive skills (his team defense is completely horrible) and Giannis can do literally everything besides hit 3s, which he doesnt need to when surrounded by the right players.
Hes 31 y/o, hes not 35+, ill take 5 years of elite Giannis over 7 years of JB any day of the week. This would be like going back and saying “KG is too old, why would we give up Al Jefferson, its too scary”.
Your last point is wildly hyperbolic. JB >>> Big Al and KG’s game was clearly going to age well, unlike Giannis.
And you’re kidding yourself if you think he’s got 5 prime years left.
Again, if it happens I’m not rioting but acting like this is 2022 Giannis is wild
Yeah I’m surprised this is even debatable. Giannis is still a top 5 player. Even if he declines some, he’s a big, so his position is a premium.
Giannis also can’t shoot the three, at all
I love JB. I don’t see how trading him one for one for a top 4 guy in the NBA is bad. Which yes, really is what Giannis is.
Terrible idea. He can’t shoot. You’d be losing a great player who can shoot, is a team leader, already has chemistry for a dude who can’t shoot, and has been injured often. His style isn’t our style.
at that point it’d either be boston if he wants to stay close to greece and be in a contender or if he wants to really really contend he’d try go to okc
Boston is closer to Greece ?
It’s technically closer than the Midwest I guess 🤷♂️ 😂
shortest flights apparently
What is the question? I assume you have seen a map.
Does Milwaukee have direct flights to Greece?
OKC won’t have any interest, I think. They already have major salary issues and he’d blow up their cap in a big way. He’d also make the team a lot older, and they can tell themselves with a straight face that if it wasn’t for injuries to J Will and Mitchell they’d have beaten the spurs. Trading for Giannis would be a very un-Presti move.
Same GM who traded for Melo & PG to give Westbrook help post KD, I think it’d be a Presti move
I mean they made the finals with Butler and Bam, they are one of the orgs that can spawn role players out of nowhere. I doubt they win the finals, but getting out of the east Bam and Giannis can get it done.
One of those runs they had Dragic who was the leading scorer going into the finals. Butler was the best player but the 2020 team was a 3 headed monster.
The other run the role players shot crazy well multiple rounds and Butler went god mode in the 1st round.
I just don’t see a world where they trade for Giannis and it doesn’t deplete the team enough to make it pointless. Sure the Heat might develop a role player or two undrafted, but even that aspect of their organization is overhyped.
Idk I just can’t doubt the best coach in the league when he got them to the finals using Bam and Jimmy.
Bam and Jimmy are both really good lol.
3 team trade where Miami gets Brown and Giannis, Boston gets Adebayo, and Milwaukee gets picks and prospects.
God I hope not
No way Brad does that.
Bam’s taking five 3PA per game now. He had a bit of a down year percentage-wise, but he has been really working to stretch the floor these past few years.
Which makes sense given how good his midrange was.
In the playoffs teams are not going to respect Bam’s three point shot. He’s not a zero from there, but still not enough to be good pairing with Giannis.
As long as Pat Riley has an Iron Grip on the Front Office the Heat aren’t going anywhere
Yeah nothing I’ve seen indicates the Celtics are actually in on Giannis. Which means the Celtics have won their last championship for the foreseeable future. At least we got one.
As a bucks fan what are you more interested in?
Whatever Herro and more trade you get from the Heat, or what a third team like the Trailblazers, Hawks, or Rockets would give up for Jaylen Brown, plus maybe something else from Boston
I can only imagine what Bucks fans have gone through over the past 2 years or so.
Giannis has done nothing but leverage his contract situation to get what he wants from the Bucks for years, and there’s no guarantee that won’t continue with a new team even after he signs an extension.
If this is going to be indicative of the level of drama that follows the guy around, I don’t want him.
Don’t worry tomorrow, Chris Haynes is gonna say the opposite
Im very intrigued in this situation getting resolved asap cause these no shit sherlock vague articles and snippets from podcasts are insanely annoying
gotta wait till the draft
This gives me a Kyrie trade vibe all over again. We didn’t necessarily look to get him, but I have a feeling we’re gonna get him and part with some players we really like
And it’s the right move. Just like the Kyrie one was at the time.
A shorter but more likely championship window
The window is only 2-3 years as it is. Tatum’s contract up after 3, but if we don’t make a big splash this summer and don’t do much this upcoming season, he might feel like he wants out after the following season.
Goes both ways.
With Brown, it is clear that Tatum is the #1 guy on this team. At best, some people argue that there are games where Brown is better and games where Tatum is better. But the better player between the two is Tatum. We do occasionally get rumblings that Brown isn’t a huge fan of that, but the guy has accepted it for close to a decade.
With Giannis, that immediately changes. Giannis becomes the #1 guy on the team and will take away essentially all the spotlight from Tatum. I don’t think Tatum will like that. People say he doesn’t have an ego, essentially every player at that level does. He was on record saying that he wants to win a championship and a FMVP.
If the Giannis and Tatum experiment fails, and Giannis doesn’t end up wanting to sign a contract, we could end up losing both of them and get thrown into a rebuild. As well as however many assets/picks we’d losing by trading for him in the first place.
Good, people should stop being attached to players that don’t take the team to the next level.
This is really funny from a guy with a Smart flair lol
You can like a player and be objective about who is better and would help the team more. Objectively I would trade Tatum, my favorite player, for Wemby in a heartbeat because I am a Celtics fan first and foremost.
I and many of the people who want Jaylen traded for Giannis like Jaylen Brown, we are just not delusional and know Giannis is objectively a better player and gives us a better chance to win.
So, targeting that guy because of his Smart flair is fucking stupid. You can have a favorite player and be objective at the same time. But the people who dont want JB traded for an objectively better player are trying to find anything and everything they can to discredit those using logic like using someones flair against them.
Unrelated, but I wish to be buried with my box of Wicked Smarts
Yeah. NGL, Giannis is good but there’s a lot of smoke lately on his poor behavior. I’d love to be wrong but if he’s going to make that locker room toxic, i’d rather not have him on the team even if he’s that good (especially if you’re giving up JB for him).
We already had to deal with this situation with Kyrie (looked good, some success then suddenly goes bad), i hope the FO learned their lesson then.
honestly, I don’t think it would get toxic. Maybe I’m just an optimist. I think the situation there has been so strange for so long. Stepping into an organization that behaves differently, that is already so succesful, I think Giannis is the type of guy to really respect that and jive. I personally want us to get him. Same age KG was traded here. A locked in, healthy or playing through injury Giannis, is a massive help against the spurs.
That said, don’t love the potential offensive tempo if Tatum and Giannis start slowing everything down. More than ever, we would need to run through D White and transition buckets. They seem to be losing that spark in the playoffs sometimes.
I really wish we would go after someone that can run the ball up instead of dwhite, I believe he would probably shoot better if he wasn’t doing that aswell. Something like an actual PG would be great to see in my opinion.
I’m also intrigued. Most fans are intrigued. Still wanting to hear that the Celtics are intrigued so I can actually get excited though. Until then, I will continue to believe he is going to Miami.
Assuming Giannis doesn’t end up with us, but understanding that he wants to play for a Eastern Conference team, this is the least threatening outcome to me.
The Heat would have to gut their team and draft picks to get him, and they wouldn’t be left with much afterward.
Plus, I think Giannis might bristle under the tight-handed control of Riley. The thought of that team falling apart from within tickles me.
When the Knicks lose to the Spures they’ll trade KAT for him (3-team deal). And it will be a disaster.
Love it.
I don’t think our FO would ever admit that publicly.
Nor should they. Why piss off Brown with a long, drawn out trade discussion for something that might not happen?
Correct
Well yeah I know they won’t directly… But things like this often get leaked. The Celtics obviously would do their best to not have it leaked. Just in case it doesn’t happen. I get that.
It’s not leaking from our FO. They don’t do that. Other teams might but they wouldn’t really know.
I wish we could silence all Giannis news until a trade happens, because all this extra shit is just garbage
You guys really think the dude that traded Marcus Smart isn’t going to trade JB for Giannis? This is happening.
The thing that makes it harder for us is that it probably has to include a 3 team trade whilst Miami which is his other preferred destination can just trade their assets for him.
We’re not trading JB for Giannis
Mark it
We might trade a DWhite/draft equity pu pu platter for him if that becomes possible (market is getting shallower & shallower by the day- Giannis has enormous flex over it given his contract being up after next season)
But yah no we ain’t trading JB
All the haters gonna be in their sad lil feels
You think Brad wants to pay that guy 70 million in two years?
You guys said the same exact shit in advance of his last two contracts & look where we are
& no I don’t care about Bill Chisolm’s money one smidge I care about the Cs being as good as possible.
Every perennial all nba player in the league is going to be making that much it will be market rate for talent. Those players never get traded unless they force their way out & they don’t sign as FAs w Boston.
We have a perennial all nba player who wants to be here, w whom we won a championship & have the winningest team of the decade.
If Brad trades him obv I’ll have to come to grips w being wrong but I’d bet dollars to donuts that it ain’t happening.
I’m not sure if you’re aware, but 50 mil and 70 mil are different numbers
Lolllol
I’m “not sure if you’re aware”, you seem to have the memory of a goldfish, that 50m at the time that Jaylen’s last extension was being discussed seemed just as outsized as 70 seems now. it’s always been this way, are you a teenager?
Lol no. The salary cap has not increased enough to eliminate an entire 20 mil level player from the roster and still complete for a championship. The previous extension was before the Apron penalties when they could add Horford, Porzingis, and Jrue. That is no longer possible under the current agreement and a 20 mil bump for JB will destroy the team’s window in JTs prime. He’s gone. Brad is not an idiot.
It’s a percentage of the cap my guy. Whatever the cap is the super max is limited to 35% of that. Thats how Jaylen’s current number exists & it’s what determines the future numbers.
I guess we’ll find out won’t we.

Yeah smart was way more loved than JB
Everybody that says they don’t want Giannis doesn’t realise he’d be the best player on the Celtics since Larry Bird.
I don’t think you can argue that 2006-2008 Kevin Garnett is better than Giannis is right now.
Don’t necessarily disagree, but KG was a great locker room guy too. Giannis seems to bring a lot of baggage…
If we still had Jrue I’d be so much more intrigued by this myself.
Derrick, Jrue, Jayson, Giannis and whoever would be an awesome closing lineup. And Jrue would help Giannis get acclimated to this team quickly.
At this point I’m just ready for draft night so whatever happens with Giannis will have already happened
Completely unrealistic, but wonder what it would take to get Jrue back at this point. No clue how much the Blazers value him, but he’d still be a good add
Amick seems to believe Giannis’ opinion may matter most on all of this. Arguably the more interesting thing is that I got the impression from reading this that Giannis might doubt the Heat ability to contend, but that he does believe we could contend.
Amick seems to doubt our disinterest in getting Giannis and that we may be putting up a public front to try to work in silence.
In reading, it almost felt like he was trying to convince the audience Giannis to Boston is a real thing still.
Giannis should absolutely worry about Pat Riley’s ability to improve the team to that point. He’s been really bad at his job for a good 5-6 years now. Was just relying on Butler to be superman in the playoffs.
came away with that as well, the biggest thing for sure is the uncertainty about Miami being able to contend after trading so much to get him.
I would love more articles like this. Super unique and original perspective. Media really stepping it up this offseason
If the Lakers got Luka for a pair of crutches, then the Celtics should get Giannis for something similar in value. 😂
There’s no Nico Harrison employed in Bucks Organization 😭
AJ Brown AND Giannis as new acquisitions in Boston would make me a very happy camper
If true and the Celtics don’t want to go for him, just kill me lol
I’m tired of this grandpa. Seriously whatever happens no one will know because that’s how Brad operates.
Get rid of Jaylen.
Trade jb for him straight up.
Would
Probably takes Jb and a first
Is there any scenario we get him without giving up JB or JT?
I think it’s technically possible, but we’d basically have to trade the entire roster. Realistically it wouldn’t happen, we’re not gutting the team and we don’t have the assets to do it without gutting
The best ability is availability, as they say. Literally no star has been more available the last decade than Jaylen Brown. That gives me serious pause.
Simple.
if we can give picks and some of your young studs like hugo for giannis.
do it.
Jb for giannis? no thank you.
“Depth and ability to contend” which doesn’t exist nearly as much if Jaylen isn’t a primary part of the team.
If you’re coming to a team that doesn’t have Jaylen, you’re not coming to the team you’re thinking you are.
Jaylen stays.
If there’s a trade that exists where Derrick White, Vucevic on a S&T, and a ransom of 1st round picks, and whatever contracts required to make the money work gets GA here, personally I’d be thrilled. Just have no idea if that’s feasible in the new CBA.
Depth that gets removed to trade for giannis. Trading Jaylen and more for giannis is so fucking dumb and I’m sick of hearing about it.
Don’t think it’s relevant. Apparently brad is trying to get a third team in on the pelicans deal, and i trust that rumor over sam amick cause he hasn’t really said shit this entire time and he doesn’t really break news like that
Pelicans aint trading murphy
Could some team trade for this diva so that the flood of trade garbage coming Celtics’ way can stop
Stars talk about liking a team to go to, but usually what they like about it gets traded away for them.
I’m so tired of this narrative changing every week I’m exhausted just by reading about it.
I’ve seen this guy report the same thing the last few weeks nothing new
Simmons and Lowe tried to kick us into a no-trade cycle. Amick didn’t take the bait. Which narrative will win? Will anyone fool us into believing that they have more information than anyone else?
if were talking scoops Amick, Shams, Stein > Simmons, Lowe, Hayes
So if the Celtics decide to go for giannis, what 3pt shooting center do you guys think we can get? Cause queta and giannis is terrible spacing
I dont see how the Celtics can do this without trading JB. A 3rd team would have to jump in and the Bucks would want to rebuild vs win now where Brad can give them a bunch of firsts, Hauser, White, Garza and they are still short $$ to match with no 3rd team. Would the Celtics be a contender to beat Spurs/OKC in 2027 with starting 5 and same or improved bench of Giannis, Tatum, Pritchard, White, Hauser? JB and Garza or whoever for salary gone. Of course could be someone else not Hauser and if Pritchard struggles as starter better of bench but still will be your top 5 in rotation and Hauser may slide out of that.
Even though Giannis gives you that key piece that nobody in East can contend with and can try to combat Wemby and we just need him to do that in one series for one title for this all to be worth it, I don’t see how they would really be able to win with losing JB and keeping JB somehow doesn’t seem possible. In Brad we must trust to pursue and exhaust all resources or figure out this window that is left with the Jays.
Ring-chasing famously works out
Ah shit here we go again
No please no
I’m just intrigued that’s he’s intrigued. Our Jays are off the table tho so 🤷🏾♂️
And?
Fuck off
Idk man. This guy could gut the team and not even be happy being here
Condolences to Bucks fans because all this back and forth about where he’ll go is annoying as hell. I can only imagine what these last few seasons have been like.
I just hate we’re gonna have to wait another week or more before we stop hearing about all this because Silver will be pissed if it’s announced when the finals are happening.
Bye BJ!
I really don’t think Giannis would mesh with Joe at all. Joe is all about accountability and, based on what his teammates on the Bucks have said, Giannis is not. I get that he’s a force to be reckoned with on the court, but I just think he’s immature and whiney and would be really worried about the team’s vibes with him. Not to mention all that shady Kalshi shit.
He’s not signing with anyone unless they sign his brother as well and think that’s a dealbreaker for The Celtics.
All this talk and then the main headline of the off season ends up being “The Boston Celtics have signed Nikola Vucevic to a 2-Year, $30 million contract”
What’s a realistic trade we could make without giving up neither of the Jays?
Does he realize we would have to give up our depth to trade for him?
Yuk
I know they’re probably waiting until the draft but got damn these rumors have been annoying lol I’m used to Brad moving in silence not this will he or won’t he shit
Everything I’ve read has all been the Milwaukee/Giannis side. Also read a report that the teams had not engaged in any conversations.
He can suck farts.
He has one year left on his deal right?
Will he play center?
No thank you!
I’m not intrigued if the jays are split up
So tired of this bullshit. I don’t want Giannis’ diva antics in Boston.
I am “very intrigued” to have a zillion dollars and an army of concubines
Time out a few days ago it was this move was not happening posted on here before that it was Giannis revelaed Miami as his number one destination. Now this article.
So what’s the truth ?
Poor Jaylon
He wants a team that can still win games while he only plays his 40-50 games per season
What he means is New Orleans Pelicans.
Problematically, the Celtics would need to give up one of their best players, and this wouldn’t be the same team he imagined joining.
“Very intrigued”…I wonder where I’ve heard that before…oh! I remember!! I heard that from basically every other fan base (and their news column) that is in the Giannis sweepstakes.
Didn’t he just say a few days ago that he wanted to stay with the bucks?? This is getting old
what a complete waste of time.
im going to kick rocks now
To get him we would have to lose all our depth
I’ll be very intrigued if getting him doesn’t involve giving up JB or D White. Or Tatum.
Tatum will be going nowhere lol
I bet there are some box score bandits in this sub that could find some advanced stat to trade Tatum based off of it.
He had a lower ORB% in 2024 than Pritchard, whatever the hell that means 😆
What is Brad thinking not trading him??!!
It’ll definitely involve losing one of brown or white
Got it. Then I’m not intrigued.
I don’t think there is any financial way to accomplish that.
Giannis isn known honeydicker. While there’s a decent chance he gets traded here it’s best to ignore all of the murmurs and whispers and just wait for something to (not)happen.
I really do not want Giannis here. He is obviously great, but I’m not convinced he fits either this team’s playstyle or tends to the needs of the roster. I’m also not convinced at all that he makes this team that much better than if we have JB and a defensive center anchor. It feels like it will cost too much to chase one ring and given the teams who have failed trying this (Phoenix, Brooklyn, LA (both), Dallas, Cleveland) I don’t think it’s worth it. We have the recipe for success already having built around JB and JT for a ring, why reinvent it for an oft injured guy?
Which defensive anchor can the Celtics get that would make them better off than having Giannis?
The teams play style needs to change. Brad Stevens said that himself in the presser after getting embarrassed. You people cry about 3’s and jump shooting but then a solution to our issues of getting to the basket comes along and you start drooling as your brain malfunctions. “but our play style”. Brad already said fuck your play style to Joe lol Joe will adapt to having a guy who can consistently pressure the rim like Brad wants.
Edit: Downvoting me is downvoting Brad Stevens. Also imagine not remembering Khris Middleton, Donte Divincenzo, Bryn Forbes, Pat Connaughton, Grayson Allen, Brook Lopez, Bobby Portis, George Hill and several other Bucks players who were solid to really good 3 point shooters around Giannis. How does putting Giannis with Pritchard, Hauser, and our young guys who shoot 3’s not work? I swear none of you actually watch an ounce of basketball and are so insulated in the Celtics sphere that you have 0 clue what you are talking about. This is a subreddit full of non ball knowers.
No thank you. Move along.
Ok but is Giannis/Tatum the best on paper duo in the league and is there no close second?
GIANNIS = CLOWN
Keep giannis off the celtics. Lets roll with the J’s and dwhite add a center and lets run it back.
I do think ultimately he’ll end up in Miami. I bet Brad is more focused on a more solid scoring option behind the Jays after White’s rough year and a monster defensive center.
The Depth dissapears in a trade, though.
Sounds like a BS negotiation ploy to jack up the bidding war for Giannis.
Feels a lot like Giannis pushing a story out trying to get the Celtics involved in the discussions…despite there being multiple sources saying the Celtics aren’t all that interested.
You think the only way to happens is if Giannis will take a max and not Supermax?
Our depth goes out the window with a Giannis trade lol.
I hate the engagement bait NBA media era man
He been doing this for like 3 years how are Bucks fans still alive lol
