Giannis Antetokounmpo has been a fixture with the Milwaukee Bucks since he was selected 15th overall in the 2015 NBA Draft. He led the Bucks to an NBA Championship in 2021. Over 12 seasons, he has accumulated career averages of 23.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game while winning two NBA MVP awards. Despite his individual prowess, the Bucks are off to a 1-3 start this season, the second with Antetokounmpo playing alongside fellow superstar Damian Lillard.
The lack of success for the Giannis-Dame duo has caused rumbling throughout the league. Today Bill Reiter, writing for CBS Sports, detailed the issues surrounding the team and suggested that a trade involving Antetokounmpo is getting increasingly more likely.
