Celtics' pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo faces agent-related issues
Summary

The Boston Celtics are reportedly experiencing discomfort while pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo due to their reluctance to engage with his agents. ESPN's Brian Windhorst notes that the Celtics prefer to keep their trade discussions private, avoiding leaks, which conflicts with the agents' involvement. Concerns also arise over the potential need to break up the duo of Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, as well as altering their play style. With the 2026 NBA Draft approaching on June 23, resolution on Antetokounmpo’s future may be imminent.
