During the season, the Celtics were sold to new ownership. The new management has been reported to be eyeing cost-cutting moves. A new report has come out that has sparked major trade rumors. According to a report from NBA insider Kevin O'Connor, as shared by Yahoo Sports, Boston has interviewed Duke standout Cooper Flagg.

Any worry that the Dallas Mavericks would give up the opportunity to draft star prospect Cooper Flagg by trading the No. 1 pick to the Milwaukee Bucks for Giannis Antetokounmpo reportedly can be put to rest.

Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick in next month's NBA Draft, shared his thoughts Wednesday with reporters at the NBA Draft Combine for the first time since the stunning sequence of events, and he recalled the still-fresh night as surreal after growing up watching the event.
