Bill Simmons I know Boston was out of this and I was wondering if they were playing possum or not I think they were playing a little possum I think they're in on Giannis Giannis is pushing for Miami or Bostonthose are the 2 locationsand really wants to end up in Boston

Bill Simmons believes that the Celtics are now in the mix to make a trade for Giannis I thought they were sitting out this Giannis thing and I no longer think that

Mitch Johnson We needed to continue to play the brand of basketball regardless of the outcome or the score

Brad Stevens on why he traded Jaylen Brown The path looked a little bit more challenging to me with 70 of our cap and such a high usage into two players and the reality in this era and in this day and age in the NBA you have to do a great job in building depth

Goodwill What Ive heard from people depending on who you talk too Boston or Miami is in the driver seat of this conversation A couple executives I talked to yesterday said they think that Miami thinks Boston is in the lead

Amick There are signs that he's Giannis looking at what that roster in Miami might look like after a trade and hypothetically comparing it to what a roster might look like in Boston after a trade with a deeper roster and more help around you
