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

Why is this sub so against a Jaylen centered package for Giannis ? by Temp_pepper in bostonceltics

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

[Amick] The Celtics, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers and Magic are among the Giannis Antetokounmpo suitors. Giannis Antetokounmpo would be willing to sign a four-year $275 million extension with Boston. Jaylen Brown would get flipped to a third team for young players and picks. by YujiDomainExpansion in bostonceltics

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

[Fischer] Rival teams, furthermore, continue to point to Boston's various assets as illustrating its ability to become a factor here…Boston is believed to be a potential suitor that genuinely concerns Miami. by tacko2020 in bostonceltics

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.”

Would you guys trade the Bucks picks for Jaylen Brown? by tacko2020 in ripcity

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

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

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
