The Atlanta Hawks and Los Angeles Clippers have been mentioned as possible third-team participants in hypothetical trade packages centered on Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo and Boston Celtics swingman Jaylen Brown, according to a report from Hoops Wire.
The report indicates that league insiders have floated both the Hawks and Clippers as teams that could help balance salaries or provide additional assets if discussions involving Antetokounmpo and Brown were ever to advance. No formal offers or negotiations were detailed, and the article did not specify what players or draft considerations Atlanta or Los Angeles might include.
Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player, is under contract with Milwaukee through the 2024-25 season with a player option for 2025-26. Brown, an All-Star guard-forward, signed a five-year super-max extension with Boston last offseason that begins in 2024-25. Both players remain pivotal pieces for their current franchises, and neither the Bucks nor the Celtics have publicly indicated a willingness to move them.
The mention of Atlanta and Los Angeles underscores how multiple teams could become involved should either star’s future become uncertain. At this stage, the scenario remains speculative and contingent on several moving parts.
