Should the Boston Celtics tank if they can't trade for Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Yahoo3 days ago
Should the Boston Celtics tank if they can't trade for Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo? The Celtics are in a bit of a reset season after star Boston forward Jayson Tatum went down with an Achilles tendon injury in the 2025 NBA Playoffs. While he seems to be okay with staying in Milwaukee for the present, it is not out of the question that he might want a change of scenery if things go sideways again.
But does it make sense to tank if the Greek Freak is not coming to Boston? At least one fan of the team thinks so, and the folks behind the "NESN" YouTube channel put together a clip from their "Hold My Banner" show taking a closer look at that aggressive point of view.
They also touch on some other pressing questions the Celtics will need to answer by the end of the offseason, so check it out below.

How Derrick White handled being traded to the Boston Celtics

Since joining the Boston Celtics, Derrick White has developed into one of the most reliable guards in the NBA — on both sides of the ball. Not only has White proven himself to be among the best two-way guards in the NBA, but he's also emerged as a vital piece of Joe Mazzulla's rotation. However, before White teamed up with the Celtics and then head coach Ime Udoka, he was learning from Gregg Popovich with the San Antonio Spurs. White was slowly proving himself on the rebuilding Western Conference roster. However, the front office decided to swap him for Romeo Langford, Josh Richardson, a 2022 first-round draft pick and a 2028 pick swap. During the debut episode of his "White Noise" podcast, White discussed the range of emotions that he navigated after finding out the Spurs had decided to trade him. He also spoke about the acclimation process, both to his new team and a new city. You can watch the full segment by clicking on the embedded video above.

Tyrese Haliburton Gets Engaged at Iowa State While Recovering From Injury

Source: Maddie Meyer / Getty Even with a walking boot and scooter by his side, Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton is making major moves—both on and off the court. While rehabbing from an Achilles tendon tear, the two-time All-NBA point guard added 'wedding planner' to his list of offseason activities. Over the weekend, Haliburton proposed to his longtime girlfriend Jade Jones, and the moment was as heartfelt as it was nostalgic. The couple met while attending Iowa State University, where Haliburton was a standout on the court and Jones cheered from the sidelines. Fittingly, he returned to the place where it all began—Hilton Coliseum—for the proposal. With the arena lights dimmed and oversized letters spelling out 'Will You Marry Me' lit up at center court, Haliburton dropped to one knee on a bed of rose petals. Photos and video captured the romantic moment—including his trusty scooter in the frame—as he popped the question despite his injury. The celebration continued with a photo shoot around campus. Haliburton captioned the post: 'The place where our story started and where our next chapter begins.' From leading the Pacers to planning a wedding, Haliburton is proving that love—and loyalty—are very much part of his playbook.
