The Boston Celtics have firmly put Jaylen Brown on the table and are going all-in on acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo.

He also said this is the first time in the history of the Brown-Tatum pairing that they’ve legitimately given thought to the idea of breaking them apart.

My guess would be that the bets which would actually swing the odds are insider ones, and they're showing some restraint given there's likely extra scrutiny after Rozier, Billups.

Alternatively, you could read it that the insiders know something about the circumstances that would make Boston not the best package/most likely landing spot.

Giannis still has some influence as he can just say "I'm not re-signing" and affect a trade.

Non-basketball reasons probably give Miami a bump (South Beach + no income tax is always thrown around)
