Report: Celtics are 'known to be interested' in trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo
"Even the Celtics, who have the 'Two Jays' back now and look fully capable of winning it all, are known to be interested and discussed in league circles as potential suitors."
"The Celtics would have to figure out how to fit Antetokounmpo in financially. He is scheduled to make $58.4 million next season and he has a $62.7 million player option the following season."
"With Tatum and Jaylen Brown already on Supermax deals making north of $54 million annually next season, pairing the three of them would almost certainly put the team deep into the luxury tax."
The Boston Celtics are reportedly interested in trading for Giannis Antetokounmpo, especially as the Milwaukee Bucks face challenges this season. Despite Antetokounmpo's contract lasting until 2028, the Bucks may consider his trade value due to their current position in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics have restructured their roster and possess a strong core, making them potential contenders for Antetokounmpo. Financially, fitting him alongside Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown would be complex, as their combined salaries exceed the salary cap.
