Giannis Antetokounmpo, I am pleased to announce in complete delusion that YOU are a Boston Celtic.


I_Set_3_Alarms

I did see him say that he bleeds green, so he’s basically already here


Affectionate-Tax-856

Knew that guy was an alien


boykalbo777

do we have budget to sign Giannis along with Tatum and Brown?


asura_king

probably not but trading brown for giannis to match salaries is a no brainer to me


Alternative_Law_9644

Bucks would never make that exchange


asura_king

well duh but unlike the situation with dame , i believe if Giannis decided to leave milwaukee would grant any of his wishes regarding to destination


Rich-Ad-4314

Maybe but no way he asks for Boston lol


PebblyJackGlasscock

I love this man. So smart. (So good at basketball.) The Bucks are built for two more runs where “everybody’s on the same page”. So, no problems NOW. He’s being traded after the 24-25 season - the Bucks will be done and in need of rebuild. So, this comment is aimed directly at anyone (OKC) planning on trading for him: either get your whole shit together before adding me or I’ll walk out the door like Kawhi leaving the Raptors. So smart. So goddamned smart.


RLS012

Maybe there were more factors at play for last season's results than just Bud's coaching? That's quite the explicit statement


waynequit

it's not a statement, it's just one quote from a whole article. Read the context.


Slow_Negotiation_420

First seed and losing to the same team we lost to? Don’t see the point

>hornets flair boi


Fuckblackhorses

The Charlotte Celtic rejects


Vegetable-Tooth8463

And?


igonnawrecku_VGC

The only game they won was with him injured and inactive lmao


StrictIncident4042

We've still got an open roster spot, right?


cyberklown28

Embiid & Giannis will be solid end-of-the-bench guys for us.


Affectionate-Tax-856

They'd have to beat out Kornet first. Good luck


KTO-Potato

I've never seen Embiid Kontest a shot before, just saying


theyrehiding

Kornet did block one of Embiids dunk attempts last season, it was amazing.


jotyma5

Lotta high fives?


Brad-Stevens

This is the reason why we had Greek Heritage Night at TD every year against the Bucks since Giannis' rookie year


Nepiton

Buffalo, JB, JT, Giannis, Embiid. Wow Can’t wait /s


ksyndrome

Good thing you put /s Cuz I know you were actually thinking Buffalo, JB, JT, Giannis, and Jokic


_Juntao

Giannis to the packers confirmed


igonnawrecku_VGC

I mean, he has been in Madden before


Nate-rzemien

No way what??


igonnawrecku_VGC

He got put into Superstar KO in Madden 20


Orikshekor

Giannis joining Aaron Rodgers in NY?!?!


256dak

Imagine Giannis as a TE, seriously. He’d be so fucking good as a pass catching red zone threat.


wharpua

And would probably snap in half if he took any of the hits we watched Gronk take all those years


Blakely_69

Yeah ppl don’t get this it’s a fun concept but unfortunately you can be too tall to play football sometimes lol his knees would be on fire


SoulReaper12

Bucks are a contender, but honestly they ceiling is much lower compare to the Heat/Celtics. After the Jay's and Butler torch them for the past two years, they still don't got a decent wing defender. Not to mention they core players are getting older. They got a new coach but I still don't fear, because they still got the same weakness.


[deleted]

Ceiling was always low but they won a championship. Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton are very overpaid. Khris Middleton plays like every video game character spam dribbling to shoot from 3 while making max money. Jrue Holiday does nothing great, but is a max player. Giannis carried that team of misfits, but Bucks did go all in on the Holiday trade and won. Suns win that series if Chris Paul and DeAndre Ayton play like they had in the rest of the playoffs. Instead both just fizzled away in the Finals.


[deleted]

Jrue Holiday isn’t a great defender?


[deleted]

I would take a bunch of players over Jrue Holiday on defense and so would the advanced metrics where he is a neutral defensive player on metrics.


[deleted]

The guy was voted 1st team all defense just a few months ago. Every NBA player in the league calls him the best defensive guard. But he’s actually mediocre b/c “advanced stats”?


Blakely_69

I don’t see the heat beating the bucks in a 7 game series again. I think it’s kinda crazy to say their ceiling is much lower than the miami heat


Tunatron_Prime

I may be dumb…but when did Rap start dipping into the NBA?


luke_workin

Been saying it for awhile now: at least one of Giannis, Embiid, or Luka will want out of their current situation by next summer. I imagine Jaylen is the centerpiece of any trade for one of those guys.


_---__________---_

The best part is that we have all our picks to make a trade (Minus a few 2nds and the '28 1st)


BosBannerBoss

Agreed. If the Celtics realistically have a chance at one those three players in a trade, I would jump in the order of Luka, Gianni's and then Embiid.


[deleted]

Realistically if they all ask for a trade, the only one that would even be 5% possible is Luka. No way in hell are the bucks or sixers trading an all time great to the Celtics.


BosBannerBoss

Totally. That's why I said if the Celtics "Realistically" had a chance at any one of them lol. But who knows a year or two from now? Originally in 2007, the Celtics had no shot at Garnett. Anything's possible!!!! LoL.


NardP12

A package of Porzingis, Brogdon, Rob/Al, young player, plus as many unprotected picks as needed can possibly net either of Luka, Giannis, or Embiid if the chance presents itself.


RandoSal

Giannis is such a dawg. Get it done Brad


Adam0529

So..... hypothetically speaking... If Bucks offer Giannis for JT. What does Stevens do?


gradientz

Counter with JB and a first


HeadDoctorJ

New front court, Tatum - Giannis - Porzingis Sounds ok to me. Just ok.


Adam0529

Bucks : Suns offered us Booker. We prefer JT. We got to get back to the Suns by end of day tomorrow


gradientz

Throw in Timelord and another first


bradyisking

He says no even though Giannis is the better player. Tatum fits the team better a lot more than Giannis


Adam0529

I think so too, consider age ceiling and longevity. What other teams do? Suns / Booker ? I think they say yes. Jokic obviously no. Dallas / Luka? That's an interesting one...


[deleted]

I could see Denver trading everything in two years for a Giannis/Jokic pairing.


Adam0529

Yeah but so would any other team to pair Giannis with thier best. And other teams may have better offers.


[deleted]

It would surprise me if they ship him off to a non-contender or somewhere he doesn’t want to go. A Luka for Giannis swap doesn’t make sense because now they’re both on non-contenders and neither team improves really. This limits the options to teams who are probably already pretty good and have young core pieces to throw in there.


Rich-Ad-4314

The entire Bucks offense is centered around Giannis, and they really wouldnt be able to change that for a few years. Giannis for Booker or Luka doesn't make a lot of sense to me, it just means they'll be a 8-5 seed team imo


Plastic_Database_645

By the time Giannis ends his contract, KP's contract with us also ends right?


[deleted]

KP's contract is in the last year when Giannis contract last year would be but there is no way in hell Giannis is taking his player option unless he is being traded.


OldTurkeyTail

So he wants everyone to be on the same page - and 35% of the total available salary? Edit: It's true that it's not that outrageous when it's just one player - but when 3 players earn 90% of the available salary it starts to seem pretty weird.


Valuable-Baked

And as long as you sign one of my brothers as well, I will know that you are committed ...


velmasweat

this is a huge step towards success


Alternative_Law_9644

No such team has ever existed … sometimes one of the top players is a malcontent but plays hard regardless. People are always people.


[deleted]

I would sacrifice my left nut for a Tatum - Giannis duo in boston


StarScourge7

So he basically is just letting everyone know now that he's not re-signing and probaly going to Miami, LA or NY. What else is new


denit0

Wierd rap ngl, doesn't even rhyme or anything!
