The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is on the record stating that the Celtics have already made an offer for Antetokounmpo, proving they’re far from just all talk when it comes to aggressively pursuing the two-time MVP.. Shortly after Simmons’ report, The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn provided the public with an update on the 18-time NBA champions’ chances of swapping Jaylen Brown for Antetokounmpo in the near future.. “I don’t think he’s going to be a Celtic, and that’s just from what I’m hearing,” Washburn said Monday. “I think the Celtics are gauging what it would take to get Giannis to Boston and trying to figure out whether they want to move Jaylen Brown.”. Moving Brown is the only way for the Celtics to give themselves the best possible chance to land Antetokounmpo. The Miami Heat are reportedly making a strong push for the 10-time All-Star, and if the Celtics don’t want him to take his talents to South Beach, they must be willing to part ways with their highly regarded 29-year-old coming off a career year (he 28.7 points per game on a Boston squad without Jayson Tatum for most of the year)..
