The leaks keep coming.
The Boston Celtics have been linked to star center Giannis Antetokounmpo for the past week. According to Kevin O'Connor, from Yahoo, the leaks are originating from the Bucks organization. The Celtics have been very quiet about their offseason to the point, and many speculate if they would even want to part ways with Jaylen Brown.
Last night on his own podcast, Bill Simmons reported that the Boston Celtics have indeed made an official offer for Giannis. He did not report who was in the deal, but he did report that a deal had been made. Simmons added that he would not want to complete a deal if it involved Jaylen Brown, he would rather keep Jayson and Jaylen together. Simmons initially thought the Celtics were out of Giannis, but his sources have changed their tune.
Giannis remains a dominant player, although he has been having significant issues with injuries, especially during this past season. Trading for an aging center is a risky prospect, especially if it comes with him signing a new 4 year, 275 million dollar contract extension.
Time will tell, but after the Knicks wont he finals last night and the NBA season has concluded, we could be having so serious action starting this week. stay tuned.
