Celtics become Antetokounmpo s potential next home! Team Note: Tatum s single change may be the only feasible solution

On May 31, ESPN famous reporter Vinhorst mentioned in his latest program: "If Antetokounmpo has the trading dominance, he may choose to join the Eastern team." Subsequently, Vinhorst listed the Celtics and the Knicks as the main potential next players.

For the Celtics, is it realistic to introduce Antetokounmpo? Celtics Fousberg evaluated the topic.

How can such a transaction be operated?

"If only one-to-one transactions are discussed, according to the salary matching rules, the Celtics can only exchange Tatum single for Antetokounmpo next season - the two of them have the same salary next season," Fosberg said. "This is the only feasible solution. As a team on the second rich line, the Celtics cannot afford more salary, nor can they complete the transaction by packaging contracts. Therefore, this is the only legal way for them to trade as the second rich line."

" Another level If they want to leave the second rich line, or complete the operation through a three-party, four-party or even five-party transaction - I don't know, it will become very complicated. From a technical perspective, they may have completed the deal... But Jaylen Brown is likely to be included in the deal, both to match salary and to provide the Bucks with a core that can be rebuilt around. On the surface, I'm not optimistic about this plan, and I know that fans will be unhappy when they hear me say this. "

Why do the Celtics make this deal?

"Because this is Giannis," Fosberg said, "he was the former MVP and was still at his peak. He ranked third in the MVP voting this season, and will be the team's winner after joining."

Why are the Bucks willing to trade?

"The Bucks' window for championships may have been closed. They need to evaluate how to get the best deal returns," Fosberg said. "For example, the combination of young players and draft picks. But this would be strange because Antetokounmpo has long been the face of the team and they have to face the difficult choice of 'how to start rebuilding'."

One thing that is certain is that if Antetokounmpo is put on the shelves, a large number of teams in the league will give quotes, and the Celtics' quotes may not be the most attractive. After all, both Tatum and Brown are injured and will receive long-term treatment during the offseason, especially Tatum, who is likely to be reimbursed next season.
