Last week, a bombshell struck the NBA: the Milwaukee Bucks were reportedly more willing to shop Giannis Antetokounmpo on the trade market than ever. The Bucks haven’t been very good this season, and it’s not looking like they’ll be good for the foreseeable future.
It wasn’t easy, but the Milwaukee Bucks picked up their second win of the week, taking down the New Orleans Pelicans in a nail biter. The win indirectly improves the Bucks’ chances of keeping their pick, separating themselves from each other by nine games in the lottery standings.
Ryan Rollins scored 27 points, and six teammates scored in double figures as the host Milwaukee Bucks defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 141-137 in overtime Wednesday night.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo seem to be heading for a divorce at some point, whether it’s before the trade deadline or the offseason. If it were to happen before the deadline, the sense is that it’ll transpire in the next eight hours, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
This season has been a miserable one for the Bucks, whose record will only get worse now that Giannis is out for an extended period (again). Simply put, they are a bad team that, for the first time in a long time, sits at the lunch table with the NBA’s bottom-feeders as opposed to its contenders.

It has been a busy week for ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania for an obvious reason. With Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks and other names on the rumor mill ahead of Thursday’s NBA trade deadline, Charania must have been on his phone for nearly every minute.
