Celtics explore three-team trade to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo
Summary

The Boston Celtics are pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo in a potential three-team deal as the NBA Draft approaches. To facilitate this trade, the Celtics would likely need to send Jaylen Brown to another team, with the Milwaukee Bucks reportedly preferring younger players and draft picks over Brown. The proposed trade would involve sending several players and draft picks to Milwaukee while Boston would receive both Antetokounmpo and Buddy Hield. The Atlanta Hawks may act as the third team, having shown interest in acquiring Brown. This trade reflects Boston’s aim to form a strong duo with Antetokounmpo and Jayson Tatum, enhancing their championship prospects.
