Miami is pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo and is reportedly willing to trade any player besides Bam Adebayo to acquire him. Giannis is expected to become the biggest name on the trade market after the season ends, with clarity anticipated by the June 23 draft. Mutual interest between Giannis and Miami has been reported, but the Boston Celtics are also perceived as a likely destination. If Boston makes a bid, it may have a valuable trade asset in Jaylen Brown. Boston recently suffered a first-round collapse after blowing a 3-1 series lead, and management has a history of making major roster moves to return to championship contention.
"I've heard something similar from a few different teams since the Chicago draft combine: Miami and Boston are increasingly perceived to be the potential trade destinations that currently - underline currently - most intrigue Milwaukee's Antetokounmpo."
"Miami remains in hot pursuit of Giannis, and are reportedly willing to part with any non-Bam Adebayo asset to finally make it happen. The two-time league MVP for the Milwaukee Bucks will be the biggest name on the trade market as soon as this NBA season comes to a close- with clarity expected to come by the June 23 draft."
"So it's not worth panicking just yet. Although if the Celtics decide to make a bid for the Bucks' superstar, they have an attractive trade piece to utilize that Miami doesn't. The Celtics could make Jaylen Brown available in order to get their hands on Giannis."
"Boston is coming off a disappointing first round collapse just over a month ago to the seventh seed Philadelphia 76ers. They blew a 3-1 series lead and suffered an early playoff exit, and general manager Brad Stevens has shown in years past he won't be afraid to pull the trigger on a shocking blockbuster move that could put the Celtics back into championship contention."
