The Milwaukee Bucks continue to emphatically shut down any possibility of a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade this offseason, and rightfully so.

Since the Milwaukee Bucks got knocked out of the postseason by the Miami Heat, all eyes have been on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the franchise.

Fresh off of winning his second consecutive Most Valuable Player award, about every team in the league was gathering assets to make their pitch toward Giannis if he requested a trade. Despite Antetokounmpo himself assuring that he would play out the final year of his deal with the Bucks, the chatter surrounding the situation has been nonstop for teams trying to pry the 25-year-old away from Milwaukee.
