Do the Boston Celtics need to trade for Giannis to challenge the Knicks in NBA's East?

Do the Boston Celtics need to trade for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo to challenge the New York Knicks in the NBA's Eastern Conference? This was the question that was posed by the hosts of the "How Bout Them Celtics!" podcast, Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance, after the Knicks defeated the San Antonio Spurs in five games to win the 2026 NBA Finals on Saturday (June 13) night in Texas.

How has New York's title changed the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes for the Celtics, if at all? Does their win suggest that hanging Banner 19 in Boston would be an easier – or harder – prospect that previously expected?

The HBTC crew took some time on a recent episode to talk it all over. Check it out below to hear their take on what it all means for the Celtics.
