After multiple weeks of being linked with a potential move for Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Boston Celtics’ trade offer fell short.

As such, the Celtics will now be going back to the drawing board, as they look for ways to improve the current roster.Brad Stevens must also figure out what comes next with Jaylen Brown. Do the Celtics sign him to a two-year contract extension at $141.9 million? Do they look to trade him elsewhere around the league? Or do they continue building and trust that winning will resolve any current issues?
