Celtics pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of NBA Draft

As the NBA Draft approaches on June 23, the Boston Celtics are reportedly intensifying their efforts to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks. Longtime reporter Gary Woelfel noted that the team is becoming more open to trading star Jaylen Brown, potentially to a third team. The situation remains fluid as the Celtics must consider the implications of breaking up their successful duo of Brown and Jayson Tatum, who won a championship together in the 2023-24 season. The Bucks are aiming for a resolution before the draft, which will inform their strategy moving forward, especially concerning their own free agency.
