It appears inevitable that the Milwaukee Bucks will end Giannis Antetokounmpo’s tenure with the franchise this summer.
Not only has Milwaukee failed to keep Antetokounmpo in a competitive environment following their 2021 championship, but the organization also urged the 10-time All-Star to shut it down toward the end of the regular season, despite his good health.
The Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and Golden State Warriors are the three franchises that will continue to get the nod over other potential suitors regarding trade rumors centered on Antetokounmpo.
However, Heavy’s Joey Haverford has a hunch that the Bucks could swap Antetokounmpo for a 32-year-old ex-Philadelphia 76ers forward who currently competes with the Portland Trail Blazers.
“The Portland Trail Blazers apparently have the best trade package on paper to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Milwaukee Bucks,” Haverford wrote last Friday. "Reports resurfaced earlier today that Portland strongly wants to enter the Giannis trade sweepstakes this summer.”
