Bill Simmons on The Celtics and Giannis Antetokounmpo: Per: @BillSimmons “I keep saying it. I don't think Boston is in on Giannis.”

Marc Stein on Bill Simmons’ report about Giannis Antetokounmpo (via @TheSteinLine) “Miami and Boston are increasingly perceived to be the potential trade destinations that currently — underline currently — most intrigue Milwaukee's Antetokounmpo.” Mutual interest between the Heat and Antetokounmpo isn't exactly headline-worthy. It's an open secret that Miami covets Giannis and, at the very least, boasts an array of young players (Kel'el Ware, Tyler Herro and Jaime Jaquez Jr.) and draft picks that should lead to substantive trade discussions with the Bucks.”

Grant Liffmann from NBC says Giannis wants to play for the Heat: “Giannis, yes, from everything that we have heard, Giannis wants to be in Miami. Miami wants Giannis. That’s all great. Does Milwaukee think they have the best package? That’s all that matters…. Miami also has a lot of swaps available. Those have become more valuable with lottery reform… That matters. If MIL is looking at rebuilding this thing, that matters.” (Via @NBAonNBC)

OKC about to up the ante and I hope they don’t go off and grab Giannis to be honest that’s curtains for certain #ThunderUP
