00:00The Celtics inquired on Giannis Antetokounmpo at the deadline last year
00:04and are expected to continue to inquire on Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer
00:09as we head towards the new league year starting in July.
00:13So we're going to start with that conversation, this still being on the table.
00:16Let me just reset where we all stand.
00:18And what, you know, the two separate questions.
00:21What you want to happen and what you think will happen.
00:25In other words, Maz, would you, if you were running the Boston Celtics,
00:30pull off some sort of trade, if not one for one, then a three-teamer, you know,
00:36Jalen Brown to Atlanta, picks to Milwaukee, Giannis to Celtics, whatever.
00:41Would you do some kind of trade that sent out Jalen Brown and brought in Giannis Antetokounmpo?
00:48No.
00:48You would not do that?
00:49I would not.
00:50Do you think they will?
00:51No.
00:53Jim Murray, same question.
00:54Would you do it?
00:55Yes, tonight.
00:56Why?
00:56Because I can't stand Jalen Brown.
00:59And they need to shake up that room because they're not going to win another title with this duo
01:02and they're delusional if they think that they're going to.
01:04So you would do it?
01:05Do you think they will do it?
01:06No, I don't.
01:07I'm actually starting to believe nothing's really going to change here with that duo.
01:10I mean, there'll be ancillary moves like Derek White will be moved
01:13and then we're supposed to celebrate because they'll bring in some other ancillary piece.
01:17But I don't think it's going to be anything major.
01:18Jay Stu, with all your Celtics insight, shall we say, would you do it?
01:24I do not want Giannis because I think his Achilles is a ticking time bomb and it's going to explode
01:30and you're going to trade away some type of important asset
01:33and he's going to be out for two years with a blown out Achilles.
01:37That's why I do not want Giannis.
01:38Okay.
01:38Do you think they will do it?
01:39I think that yes.
01:42Short answer, yes.
01:43I think that they would do it because they view Jason Tatum as a tier A player.
01:48They view everybody else on that roster as a tier B player.
01:53I feel like they view Giannis as a tier A player and so that's why they would do it.
01:57They would want to see Tatum and Giannis because they would be two tier A players in the NBA universe.
02:05Okay.
02:06I would not do it and I don't think they will do it.
02:09I think their interest in Giannis is to add to Brown and Tatum if I had to guess.
02:13Yeah, right.
02:13And in which case you would do that.
02:15Yes, absolutely.
02:16And I think I might too.
02:17I mean, I don't think it will work, but that's less offensive to me than Brown for Giannis.
02:25I'd rather have Brown as a player straight up than Giannis.
02:28Never mind age, health, etc.
02:33So then you add in all those other things and I think it would be freaking silly.
