Giannis Antetokounmpo trade machines are going off as many claim he is no longer happy with the Milwaukee Bucks. He wants to look for greener pasture, says another.
The Greek Freak himself hasn’t said anything about his future as he is focused in the regular season but rumors just would not die.
Multiple sources have debunked the grapevine but one statement from an NBA insider, quoting an executive, should water down any rumors about Antetokounmpo’s future in Wisconsin – the strength of the Eastern Conference.
NBA insider Brian Windhorst reiterated that the Bucks have no interest in trading away their superstar although it is other teams who are making calls to Milwaukee.
He said the team is keeping their grip of the two-time MVP, especially now that there’s not much competition in the Western Conference.
“The East doesn’t look that formidable right now. If I were them I would play the long game and believe in Giannis and Dame,” an East executive told ESPN. “The problem is I don’t think they’re beating Boston even if they hit their stride.”
This appears to be the right move right now. The East only has two teams above .500, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Celtics.
If there is something that will likely happen in the Bucks organization, it would probably be the overhaul of the bench unit or worse, the coaching staff.
Giannis Antetokounmpo trade proposals are fiction
It is understandable why teams would want to have Giannis in their squad. He is currently the second best scorer behind Anthony Davis. Imagine what he can do for you.
However, he and the Bucks, according to NBA journalist Bobby Marks, have an understanding that they would traverse this season or the next ones together.
“He is not looking to be moved, Milwaukee is not looking [for] him to be moved,” Marks said in his show.
“They’re looking to try to figure out what went wrong with this roster to start the season. I think we can put away the fictional Giannis trade proposals for right now. There’s no concern from that front.”
The Bucks are currently 2-6.
