The Boston Celtics attempted to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo, offering Jaylen Brown and two first-round picks. The trade fell through, with the Milwaukee Bucks sending Antetokounmpo to the Miami Heat instead. This outcome is seen as a positive development for the San Antonio Spurs, who have been linked to Brown following their NBA Finals loss.
