After that disaster class by the Celtics, chatter about trading for Giannis at an all-time high. Why? Because he would be the best answer to creating a perfected version of Mazzulla Ball.
Mazzulla Ball includes shooting an enormous amount of threes. However, when the other team is expecting that, it leads to bad shots, and the series against the Sixers showed that. But if Giannis is introduced, then it changes everything.
Giannis is arguably the most dominant inside presence in the NBA right now. If the opposing team continues to guard the perimeter, Giannis would get easy buckets on the inside. If the defense collapses on him, everyone else is free to shoot. Itās a perfect symbiotic relationship.

Most trade ideas between the two parties are either a complex three-way trade, or a straight up trade between Boston and Milwaukee. There is one constant though, and itās that Jaylen Brown is moved in the deal.
While it would definitely not be to the delight of Celtics fans, itās the easiest way to make this trade work. With Brownās massive contract, it would make it hard for the Celtics to afford him, Giannis, and Tatum.

Overall, this would make the Celtics undeniably the team to beat in the Eastern Conference once again. Tatum and Giannis would have to stay healthy, but any roster Boston builds around them is sure to succeed.
Hopefully, the Celtics find some way to get Giannis to their team without losing Brown and causing major consequences financially. In any case, getting Giannis might need to be a top priority.
