ONE MORE THING: Miami Heat Face Boston Celtics THREAT in Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Talks

About this episode

Wes Goldberg discusses the implications of Bill Simmons' comments on the Boston Celtics' potential threat in the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks with the Miami Heat.

Just when it seemed like the Giannis Antetokounmpo conversation was narrowing toward Miami, Bill Simmons introduced a new wrinkle. On his latest podcast, Simmons suggested that the Boston Celtics are back in the mix for Giannis and could potentially put together a stronger trade package than the Heat. He even claimed that Giannis may view Boston as the best path to another championship, while still acknowledging that Miami remains the most likely destination. Wes Goldberg breaks down Simmons' comments and ask the big questions: Are the Celtics actually a legitimate threat in the Giannis sweepstakes? Would Milwaukee prefer a package centered around Jaylen Brown or one built around Miami's collection of young players, draft picks and salary matching contracts? And if Giannis truly prioritizes winning another championship above all else, how much should Heat fans worry about Boston entering the conversation?
