With the news that Giannis Antetokounmpo has agreed to a five year supermax extension with the Milwaukee Bucks the Celtics slim chances to sign the reigning repeat league MVP have now dried up. Though the Celtics were on Antetokounmpo's preferred short list, the task would have been tall. The Celtics opening up cap space next summer would actually have been the easy part. When a young MVP wants to join your team you simply make the room by whatever means necessary. That's what the Lakers did with Shaq in 1996 and the Heat did with LeBron in 2010.
Well I guess we will just have to trade for Giannis now!
