The Boston Celtics have been issued a brutal warning on the team being involved in Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors.

Knicks Get Bad News on Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After taking a Game 6 loss in the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Knicks took the playoff exit seriously, firing head coach Tom Thibodeau after five seasons.

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.
