Somebody already brought up the idea that Giannis Antetokounmpo could find a new home with Milwaukee Bucks rivals Boston Celtics but it is more about how the latter got the assets to acquire a talent like the Greek Freak.

Now, the narrative is shifted to Giannis and his alleged dissatisfaction with the organization and coaching staff.
Former Celtics player Marcus Morris thinks there’s something to watch out for in this scenario and brought up the idea that the two-time MVP might find Boston an attractive team.
“You get Jaylen Brown back at 28, you get Derrick White back at 30, or whatever that may be… you kind of keep a good core intact,” Morris said during a guesting with Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.

“If I’m Giannis, I’m definitely taking a step back and saying: ‘Hold on, Boston is a great spot.’ You know, they got a great coaching staff, a great upper management, so I think it’s something that, you know, we should keep our eye on.”
Giannis Antetokounmpo is not going anywhere
Making mock trades for Antetokounmpo is understandably fun for many but right now, teams should shut down any hope that they will and him one day. Even if they got the assets to do it.
NBA insider Brian Windhorst recently reported that teams are coming to terms that Antetokoumnpo will stay a Buck for a while. The report came after recent statements made by the Greek Freak in Brazil.
“I’m rooting for good basketball. That’s it. The Finals are different, I hope to be back soon with the Bucks,” he said last week when asked about the 2025 NBA Finals between the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

He then doubled down on it with an X post.
