The Celtics have decided to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Giannis wants to end up in Boston 😳, per @BillSimmons
“I thought Boston was out of this. I know Boston was out of this. I was wondering if they were playing possum or not. I think they were playing a little possum. I think they are in on Giannis. I’m not recanting what I said before. I don’t know the reasons for it. Maybe they felt like Miami’s offer is an offer they could beat. Maybe they want to drive the price of Miami’s offer up and don’t really have interest in him. Giannis is pushing for Miami or Boston. Those are the two locations and really wants to end up in Boston because he would have the best chance to win a title. Boston is not ruling out the idea is my intel. In general, I’m prepared for anything with Boston now.”

Absolutely Win Win situation for both Atletico and Florentino. It’s sick the hatred for Barcelona.
Not gonna lie, I think Florentino Perez didn't ACTUALLY bid for Álvarez. I think Real Madrid’s offer may have even been coordinated with Atlético to make Julián Álvarez’s move to Barcelona more difficult, because I can’t find any logical way how he would fit into Real Madrid’s squad.
With Mbappé and Vinícius already in the team, it just doesn’t make much sense and also I believe it was a PR stunt by Pérez for the elections.
