Coming soon! The Greek Freak is about to confirm his next team! A blockbuster 1-on-1 trade reported.

Bucks forward Kuzma: "Major news to be announced."

Shams, the news breaker, latest report: "Giannis going to the Heat or the Celtics will only be a one-on-one trade, no multi-team deal."

The Greek Freak, barring any surprises, will officially determine his new team before draft night (Beijing time on the 24th of this month).

Also from Shams' sources, the Celtics' offer focuses on superstar players, while the Heat focus on rookie contracts plus draft assets.

Renowned reporter Stein previously stated:The Celtics have submitted an offer to the Bucks centered around Jaylen Brown.

If the Celtics form a new duo of Tatum and Giannis, the team's visibility will see a qualitative upgrade, and it will undoubtedly greatly impact the current NBA championship landscape. At the very least, the newly crowned champion Knicks' path to defending their title next season will become much more difficult.

Talk about Jaylen Brown's misfortune. Last season, as the de facto sole star for most of the time, he led the Celtics to a 56-26 record, second in the East. He averaged 28.7 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and 1 steal, earning a spot on the All-NBA Second Team. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 25.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.1 blocks. Yet, in the end, he became a "cast-off" for the Celtics.

Yes, although both are third overall picks, in Boston, Jaylen Brown has always lived in the shadow of Tatum. Even though Tatum suffered a devastating Achilles tendon rupture last year and may not return to his peak, he still enjoys the Celtics' favor.

Therefore, to some extent, Jaylen Brown leaving the Celtics to bring his talents to the Bucks might not be a bad thing. With his new team, he can enjoy the undisputed core role he has long desired, which will also benefit his future contract negotiations.

In 2023, Jaylen Brown signed a 5-year, $304 million max contract with the Celtics, averaging about $60 million per year. This July, he becomes eligible to sign another supermax extension: 2 years, $141.9 million, averaging about $70 million per year.

Money in hand, nothing to fear.

Jaylen Brown has already achieved a career full of honors, winning both the championship and Finals MVP in 2024. It's time for him to focus on fighting for status and money.
