Reggie Miller always has something to say, and he doesn’t hold back. During the Warriors-Celtics broadcast, Miller may have let a big secret slip. While calling the game, he seemed to confirm that Caitlin Clark will take part in the NBA All-Star weekend festivities. Rumors have already been swirling about a potential three-point shootout featuring Caitlin Clark and Sabrina Ionescu teaming up against Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. He’s always keeping things entertaining—sometimes to a fault.

But during the Celtics-Lakers game, he dropped a take that had everyone doing a double take: “You know who the Celtics could really use right now? Jerami Grant.” And if that wasn’t wild enough, they actually had a graphic ready to back it up. Fans couldn’t believe it, and honestly, neither could we. Let’s get into how NBA Twitter reacted to this head-scratcher.

Celtics’ fans feel that Reggie Miller just made the “dumbest” take

“Reggie Miller’s trade wishlist for the Celtics is to add Jerami Grant and CJ McCollum LMAOOOOOO” wrote one Celtics fan. Grant is locked into a massive five-year, $160 million contract with Portland, and McCollum is under a hefty deal with New Orleans, earning over $33 million this season alone. Even entertaining the idea of Boston acquiring both players feels like a fantasy draft scenario.

Another tweeted “Reggie Miller said he wants the Celtics to trade for CJ McCollum or Jerami Grant literally the dumbest thing ive ever heard“. The Celtics are already struggling to make their current roster work financially while staying competitive. Adding two high-paid veterans would blow up any semblance of cap flexibility they have left.

The Celtics paid the 5th highest luxury tax for the 23-24 season at $43.8 million according to Bobby Marks of ESPN. Fans didn’t just laugh at Reggie’s idea—they pointed out how absurd it is, given the Celtics’ lack of tradeable assets or cap space to pull off such blockbuster moves.

Celtics fans were having a field day after hearing the Hall of Famer’s take. “Is Reggie Miller stupid? He just said the Celtics should trade for Jermai Grant and CJ McCollum” tweeted another netizen. This also highlights a broader trend in commentary where analysts toss out names without much thought to the actual logistics. Sure, it’s fun to dream about Grant’s scoring and McCollum’s shot-creating pairing with Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, but it’s just not realistic.

Fans are savvy these days—they know contracts, trade rules, and cap limitations like GMs. So when Miller drops a pipe dream like this, it’s no surprise that X erupts in mockery.

One netizen had a hilarious take. “What is Reggie Miller on? If I had to watch CJ McCollum and Jaylen Brown share the court that would be my 13th reason“ they wrote. While McCollum is undeniably a talented scorer and leader, his fit alongside a player like Jaylen Brown seems questionable. Both thrive with the ball in their hands and pairing them could create redundancy rather than synergy on the court.

Also the 13 Reasons Why reference is how you know you’re on X. That’s how unhinged X is.

“Reggie Miller trolling with Jerami Grant or McCollum to the Celtics” wrote another fan. The only way these trades would make sense was if he was trolling. Many felt that Miller’s suggestions seemed almost out of touch with the Celtics’ actual roster needs, as Boston has prioritized defense, three-point shooting, and depth rather than reshuffling its core around names that don’t naturally fit.

But if he wasn’t trolling then he wasn’t cooking for sure.
