Three-team trade sends Giannis to Celtics, Jaylen Brown to Trail Blazers

A proposed three-team blockbuster would send Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Celtics, Jaylen Brown to the Trail Blazers, and a package centered around Scoot Henderson, Shaedon Sharpe, Jerami Grant, and draft assets to the Bucks.

The Milwaukee Bucks continue to be at the center of NBA speculation as uncertainty surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's future fuels a growing number of blockbuster trade proposals.

Recent reports have suggested that Milwaukee could be willing to include additional players in a potential Giannis deal, with Bobby Portis emerging as a possible part of any trade package.

While no formal negotiations have been reported, league insiders expect the Bucks to gain a clearer picture of the market once the 2026 NBA Finals conclude.

One intriguing trade concept was recently proposed by NBA reporter Evan Sidery, who outlined a three-team framework involving the Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Portland Trail Blazers.

Proposed three-team trade:

Boston Celtics receive:

Giannis Antetokounmpo

Portland Trail Blazers receive:

Jaylen Brown

Milwaukee Bucks receive:

Scoot Henderson

Shaedon Sharpe

Jerami Grant

No. 27 overall pick

2028 pick swap

Return of their 2029 first-round pick

2030 pick swap

Under the proposed deal, Antetokounmpo would land with the Celtics, forming a superstar duo alongside Jayson Tatum.

Portland would acquire Jaylen Brown, while Milwaukee would receive a package centered around two of the Trail Blazers' most promising young players, Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe.

For Boston, the proposal represents an aggressive win-now move.

Pairing Antetokounmpo with Tatum would instantly create one of the most talented duos in the NBA and could keep the Celtics among the championship favorites for years to come.

Several contenders continue to monitor Giannis situation

The hypothetical trade comes as several teams continue to monitor Antetokounmpo's situation.

The Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Los Angeles Lakers have all been linked to the two-time MVP in recent months.

According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Miami remains a team to watch due to its combination of young talent, draft assets, and organizational appeal.

The Knicks have also been frequently mentioned as a potential destination, particularly if their current NBA Finals run ends without a championship.

Antetokounmpo is scheduled to earn $58.5 million next season and holds a player option worth $62.8 million for the 2027-28 campaign.
