The most dominant expansion team in NHL history? 🤯
Is there any way the Celtics can get Giannis and keep Jaylen Brown?
Derrick White has to go
Houston has to love White (Udoka connection) and be low on Sengun's ability to be a championship guy
Flimsy, but possible
Walker Kessler is one of the few excellent true giants in the NBA...
Hyper efficient. 7'5 wingspan and elite timing make for world class rim D. Not an offensive hub, but can make nice passes in the flow of an offense. Imposing on the glass. Real center
👀 | @TimBontemps floated three potential free-agent targets for the Celtics if they trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo:
Brook Lopez (team option)
Al Horford (player option)
Kristaps Porzingis
Any of the 3 would pair well with Giannis as floor-spacing centers.
The Trail Blazers and Magic are teams who could still win the Giannis Antetokounmpo derby with a trade the Bucks simply can’t refuse.
Portland is willing to send a strong haul knowing Giannis is a rental.
If Orlando offered Paolo Banchero or Franz Wagner, they vault to the top.
Skip Bayless says best fit for LeBron James is to join the San Antonio Spurs:
“Because if you could have LeBron play point for them 30 minutes a night, they would be much better to me. Because his greatest strength is passing and distributing he could average easy 10, 11, 12 assist a night with that team. But it would be a big bold gutsy move because you’re bringing in that aura, you’re changing the chemistry.”

The pathway for the Pistons to create max cap space for Austin Reaves while retaining Jalen Duren.
It would require sacrificing a good chunk of depth. Sign and trade would be the ideal way to acquire him, as @MotorCityHoops points out.
