NBA Trade Rumors: Mock Deal Sends Giannis Antetokounmpo to Celtics, Bucks Choose to Contend with $382.3M Duo
- NBA insider Brian Windhorst reported on June 2, 2025 that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Boston Celtics this offseason.

- If completed, the trade could reshape both rosters significantly, with Boston managing salary constraints and Milwaukee aiming for a younger core, though Celtics’ depth would face challenges.
