Are the Rockets, Bucks and Celtics planning a three-party deal?
6:07am, 17 May 2025【Basketball】
After the Celtics lost to the Knicks again, they were already on the edge of the cliff. Compared to the score behind 1-3, what makes Boston fans even more worried is the injury of the star Tatum. Judging from a series of behaviors after the injury, Tatum's injury was not optimistic. He was suspected of hurting his Achilles tendon and was spinning on the ground in pain. He could only be pushed away from the scene by a wheelchair. It was difficult for him to return to the arena this season. Therefore, the Celtics only have theoretical possibilities left to reach the Eastern Conference Finals or even defend the NBA championship. With the improvement of the three teams, the Cavaliers, Knicks and Pacers, this season, the Celtics are no longer the only one in the Eastern Conference. So for General Manager Stevens, if you want to continue to strive for the championship, strengthening will be the main theme this summer.
Recently, the US media "Fadeaway" World" suggests that the three teams, Celtics, Rockets and Bucks, will negotiate on a three-party trading offer this summer offseason. If the negotiations go smoothly, Antetokounmpo is expected to go to Boston to partner Tatum, Jaylen Brown is expected to land in Houston, and Jaylen Green will be sent to Milwaukee as a bargaining chip. The specific trading plan is:
1, the Celtics send Jaylen Brown + 2026 The Celtics' first round pick in 2028 + the Celtics' first round pick in 2028 won Giannis Antetokounmpo;
2. The Rockets sent Jaylen Green + Tari Ethan + Jock Landale + the 10th pick in 2025 to Jaylen Brown;
3. The Bucks sent Jaylen Green + Tari Ethan + Jock Landale + three future first round picks.
This deal is more efficient and compatible for the Celtics. They all have the ability to start All-Stars and have led the team to the NBA championship. Compared to Jaylen Brown, who performed tepidly after signing a super top salary contract, Antetokounmpo's data can only be described as perverts. This season, averaging 34.1 minutes per game, scoring 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 60.1%. Antetokounmpo's joining can greatly improve the Celtics' inside strength, because he won the NBA championship last season, causing the overlapping position and function of Tatum and Jaylen Brown to be covered up, but this problem has gradually been exposed this season. Antetokounmpo's addition can make the Celtics' lineup structure more balanced. In addition, the good relationship between Antetokounmpo and Ju Holiday also created conditions for him to travel to Boston.
The Rockets management has been favoring Jaylen Brown for a long time. First of all, he is the confidant player of head coach Uduka. The first time the Celtics fired Uduka, Jaylen Brown expressed his dissatisfaction in an interview. Secondly, he has the ability to play the role of star in the Rockets. Jaylen Brown has proved himself on the finals stage and he doesn't want to live under the halo of Tatum all the time. The Rockets have a bunch of talented young players and have already ranked second in the Western Conference, but because of Jaylen Green's poor performance in the playoffs, the Rockets were unfortunately eliminated in the first round. Jaylen Brown's comprehensive ability and competition experience are above Jaylen Green, and his joining will make the Rockets truly a championship-level team.
