Boston Celtics source wars continue with more rumors of potential interest in the storied franchise dealing for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo percolating up soon after Ringer founder Bill Simmons shared he had intel Boston might not be out on a trade for the Greek Freak.
In the most recent edition of the Stein Line, contributor Jake Fischer echoed similar sentiments about the Celtics perhaps leaving the door open to trading for the Bucks star despite momentum building for a trade to the Miami Heat. Fischer reports that "there have undeniably been rumbles throughout the week that Boston, at the very least, has to be monitored here."
"Earlier in the week, league sources with knowledge of the situation maintained that Boston had not yet seriously engaged Milwaukee on an Antetokounmpo trade," he added, "but they also declined to rule out the possibility of the Celtics eventually entering the fray."
"Rival teams, furthermore, continue to point to Boston's various assets as illustrating its ability to become a factor here," suggests Fischer. "They also note that Antetokounmpo shares a skills coach with Jayson Tatum (Drew Hanlen) and is believed to have a level of interest in landing with the Celtics on top of his well-chronicled affinity for Miami."
"Those same sources likewise insist that the Celtics have yet to engage in any meaningful trade conversation this spring involving Jaylen Brown after Brown's tremendous 2025-26 campaign … but it also hasn't been categorically dismissed as a possibility. This much is clear: Boston is believed to be a potential suitor that genuinely concerns Miami."
