Maybe that reporter who mentioned the Clippers as a 3rd team is legit. Bill mentions Clippers as a potential 3rd team for Jaylen. He says it feels real b/c they(Clippers) aren’t sure who to draft at 5. (22-23 min into the pod). This is more speculation than reporting it as fact.

I really need the Giannis deal to be official. Wherever he ends up- please just put us out of our misery. All these reports that don’t say much are just agonizing.
“Giannis wants to go, will accept a deal to Boston… What I was told today was, Haslem wants his player. They want someone they can say ‘hey, we got this guy.’ The guy is not Tyler Herro. — The Bucks want to have their trophy. They want to say ‘yes we lost a top 5 player but look who we got.’ The ‘hey look who we got’ god bless him, probably isn’t Jaime Jaquez Jr.”

“I can’t give you a consensus on where [Giannis is] going because some people I talk to, convinced that the momentum is still with Miami…but the Boston talk, it has gotten louder and louder and louder. Since the end of May, this has been out there.” - @TheSteinLine
Giannis Antetokounmpo would be willing to take a contract extension with the Boston Celtics.
The Celtics are a “serious threat” to the Heat.
Jaylen Brown would be traded in the deal.
Per: @sam_amick
“If Antetokounmpo would be willing to sign the four-year, $275 million extension in Boston, as league sources indicated would be the case, the Celtics pose a serious threat to the Heat's pursuit. Celtics star Jaylen Brown is widely believed to be the most prominent player who would come the Bucks' way in that deal, though rival teams expect that Milwaukee would trade the 29-year-old forward again for younger players and draft picks.”
Wow
The Boston Celtics are in on Giannis Antetokounmpo.
They are making lots of calls and shopping all players except for Jayson Tatum.
Per: @KevinOConnor
👀
The Miami Heat are reportedly ‘genuinely concerned’ about the Boston Celtics, per @JakeLFischer
“Rival teams, furthermore, continue to point to Boston's various assets as illustrating its ability to become a factor here. 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…This much is clear: Boston is believed to be a potential suitor that genuinely concerns Miami.”
