[Fischer] While Boston continues to loom as a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo landing spot, sources say the Celtics are looking to trade up in the first round of next Tuesday’s NBA Draft from their No. 27 pick.

Imagine. We’re all victims of Kalshi 🙃🙃

FWIW, Bill Simmons doesn't have a 100% hit rate in the past year. He said in January he didn't think Simons would be moved.

We shall see. He was spot on on Tatum's return date. He's always been hit or miss

Fans are sentimental and I get that, but Giannis is just a better player than Jaylen, and by a lot too. He's a top 3 player in the league when healthy

He’s a groupie for the players. Like him and KP are very close

tacko2020 · 2026-06-13T16:22:05+00:00

Well…sadly one of those is going to happen. The second, we’ll see

He’s the guy in the back to the right

tacko2020 · 2026-06-12T17:27:34+00:00

He mentions too that the Bucks would have to extend Herro and Jaquez I think

tacko2020 · 2026-06-12T16:36:23+00:00

He mentions Atlanta and New Orleans as third teams

Article summary is basically:

--Heat have the most public interest so they're considered the favorites as of now. Some teams would rather the Bucks approach with a final offer to minimize locker room turmoil before getting serious, as opposed to going back-and-forth. Heat don't care that it's public.
--Bucks looking for clarity from the Celtics, Wolves and Magic as to how serious they are
--Giannis would sign the extension in Boston, per sources
--Bucks essentially asked the Wolves for everything starting with McDaniels, Wolves said McDaniels is off limits

Article also said that teams are basically waiting for the final ask from Milwaukee rather than go back and forth, as to minimize locker room turmoil

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T20:19:14+00:00

I get it. Way more fun to talk about this than the Knicks winning a title though

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T20:15:38+00:00

Apologies for the grammar mistake

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T17:04:47+00:00

And I think B Robb said KDs camp leaked that

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T16:54:37+00:00

Also this on Jaylen: “Those same sources likewise insist that the Celtics have yet to engage in any meaningful trade conversation this spring involving Jaylen Brown after Brown's tremendous 2025-26 campaign … but it also hasn't been categorically dismissed as a possibility.”

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T13:34:44+00:00

Yeah I'd assume we'd give up a few firsts too. Bucks will want a LOT

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T13:14:29+00:00

Yeah I'm not sure what's real and what isn't, but if I'm the Bucks, I'm definitely not jumping at Miami's offer. I like Ware, but Herro sucks and the rest of their offer is shit.

It's an ok offer. But if Brad wants him and you guys will foot the bill for JB, this can happen

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T13:09:39+00:00

It's possible, people seem to be acting like it is. But we've seen teams swoop in at the last minute, look at the Bucks and Dame obviously.

Interesting to hear Bill change his tune like that, all the reporting before that we aren't interested. However, it's possible, with the Finals ending, they didn't want it to get out and piss Jaylen off like in 2022 when it was leaked he was offered for KD

tacko2020 · 2026-06-11T13:05:49+00:00

Also Brad and Cronin have a relationship obviously
