Boston Celtics reportedly make offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA analyst Bill Simmons said the Boston Celtics have submitted an offer for Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, confirming the team’s interest in the two‑time MVP. Simmons did not disclose the terms of the offer, and the Bucks organization has not confirmed any trade discussions.

Insider reports describe a possible three‑team scenario in which the Celtics would acquire Antetokounmpo, the Los Angeles Clippers would receive guard Jaylen Brown and a 2025 first‑round pick, and the Bucks would absorb Brown’s $53 million salary along with the pick. Analysts note significant salary‑matching challenges for such a deal.

Separate rumors suggest Antetokounmpo may prefer a move to the Miami Heat, with ESPN reporting intensified talks between the player and the Florida franchise. At the same time, ESPN analyst Jay Williams falsely claimed Boston guard Jaylen Brown had unfollowed the Celtics on social media, a claim later disproved.

Overall, the trade chatter centers on the Celtics’ pursuit of Antetokounmpo, potential multi‑team exchanges, and the broader impact on NBA offseason strategy.
