The NBA offseason hasn’t even officially started yet, but trade rumors are already swirling around the Boston Celtics<\/a> and Milwaukee Bucks.<\/p>\n

There have been conflicting reports in recent days and weeks, but some believe the Celtics could be looking to move Jaylen Brown<\/a> this summer. Meanwhile, Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is expected to be available on the trade market, which would likely pique Boston’s interest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it’s unclear whether the Celtics would actually give up the assets to acquire\u00a0Antetokounmpo, including potentially Brown, CLNS reporter Noa Dalzell believes Boston’s interest is legitimate<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I had to pick is Giannis going to be a Celtic or not next year, I would pick not, but I don\u2019t think it would be a shocking move\u2026I think there\u2019s real interest.\u201d@NoaDalzell<\/a> gives her current stance on whether the Celtics will trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. pic.twitter.com\/AtWqI4fEUA<\/a><\/p>\n

“If I had to pick is Giannis going to be a Celtic or not next year, I would pick not, but I don\u2019t think it would be a shocking move\u2026I think there\u2019s real interest,” Dalzell said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Garden Report.”<\/p>\n

That seems like a realistic assessment. An\u00a0Antetokounmpo trade to Boston probably won’t happen, but it could. At the very least, the Celtics will probably consider it<\/a>, even if they don’t end up pulling the trigger.<\/p>\n

Time will tell what\u00a0Antetokounmpo’s trade market looks like and which other teams pursue him, but it won’t be surprising if Boston’s in the mix.<\/p>\n
