Celtics Made 1 Call on Giannis Trade, Eyeing Renewed Pursuit This Offseason

Shams Charania said Boston checked in on Giannis Antetokounmpo at the 2026 trade deadline, making a call and holding concept-level talks rather than detailed negotiations.
Charania said Miami and Minnesota had more extensive back-and-forth discussions, while Cleveland, the Lakers, the Knicks and Boston registered interest without reaching particulars.
Those talks stalled because any serious package would require mutual engagement from Milwaukee before Boston would put key players into a formal offer.
Boston's interest could carry into the offseason as the Celtics look to add rim pressure, even if Brad Stevens is unlikely to make a public pursuit a focal point.

As the Giannis sweepstakes begin, what trade package could realistically pry the superstar from Milwaukee before the NBA draft?

Should the Celtics dismantle their Tatum-Brown duo for a chance at Giannis, or is the price of a superstar too high?
