After their bid to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo unraveled late Monday night, the Boston Celtics must now turn their sights back to one of their own stars. If they have damaged their relationship with Jaylen Brown by deeming him expendable \u2014 again \u2014 it\u2019s imperative to mend the wound.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s not clear yet whether the Celtics have a Brown problem now, it would be no great shock if the dynamic between him and the organization is more complicated after the Boston front office included him in a failed pursuit of Antetokounmpo. Brown was indeed on the table in trade talks<\/a> before the Milwaukee Bucks agreed to send Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel\u2019el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jaku\u010dionis, three first-round picks (2026, 2031, 2033), one first-round pick swap (2030) and a 2033 second-round pick. The Celtics were hoping to add a two-time MVP in Antetokounmpo, but found nothing in their chase other than a possible locker-room headache.<\/p>\n

I’m Eric Namm. I cover the Bucks here at the Athletic. I’ve covered Giannis and the Bucks for all 8 years that I’ve been at the Athletic, and now Giannis is going to be playing for a different team. It is, it’s tough to imagine him wearing any other jersey than that one right there. That jersey that he wore when he won his two NBA MVPs, when he went to 10 straight All-Star games, when he was named All NBA 9 times, when he won a championship in 2021, going down that road right there, that’s the championship parade. The championship parade went right down that road, went right past this building. That mural was not up at the time, but it is now, and it speaks to what his legacy will be here in Milwaukee. He is beloved. Loved in this city. He is the greatest player in franchise history. I know sometimes people get mad when I say that because of what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was able to do in Milwaukee, but that is the all-time statistical leader in every major statistical category. Giannis Deakumbo, no longer a member of the Milwaukee Bucks. It’s honestly hard to believe, and it’s going to be unusual to see him in a different jersey, but his time in Milwaukee is now up.”,”ineligibleRegion”:[“BI”,”BY”,”CD”,”CF”,”CU”,”IQ”,”IR”,”KP”,”LB”,”LY”,”ML”,”NI”,”RU”,”SD”,”SO”,”SS”,”SY”,”UA”,”VE”,”YE”,”ZW”],”publisher”:{“@type”:”NewsMediaOrganization”,”@id”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/#publisher”,”name”:”The Athletic”,”url”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/”,”foundingDate”:”2016-01-25″,”logo”:{“@type”:”ImageObject”,”@id”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”url”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”contentUrl”:”https:\/\/theathletic.com\/app\/themes\/athletic\/assets\/img\/the-athletic-wordmark-black.png”,”creditText”:”The Athletic”,”height”:”60″,”width”:”435″},”publishingPrinciples”:”https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/edit-guidelines\/”,”sameAs”:”https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Athletic”},”author”:[{“@type”:”Person”,”name”:”Eric Nehm and Johnny Sweet”}]}<\/p>\n
