The Celtics are pretty restricted in how they can acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo because they’re above the second luxury tax apron. NBA rules prohibit them from aggregating salaries in a trade for a player with a larger salary. They also prevent the Celtics from taking in more salary than the salary that they’re giving out in any trade.

As the Celtics look at how they’ll restructure their roster and get below the second apron (and potentially take a year off without their star), there’s one NBA insider that believes that the team can possibly use this period of uncertainty to land a superstar with championship experience.

If Giannis Antetokounmpo asks for a trade out of Milwaukee this summer, what would need to happen for the Celtics to become a suitor?
