The NBA offseason has begun for most teams other than the two competing in the NBA Finals.

As it begins, insiders' scoops and rumors have filled social media, with a lot of the news highlighting Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

After the Bucks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the playoffs, news spread after Antetokounmpo teased the idea of leaving Milwaukee to pursue a team that has better odds of winning a title.

The NBA took this story and ran with it into the offseason, and it's led to a lot of rumors surrounding the former two-time MVP.

Now, as it hits June, speculations of Giannis Antetokounmpo being traded to another team have slowed down, but are still lingering in the air.

Anything can happen on the business side of sports, as we saw from the blockbuster trade that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and Anthony Davis to the Dallas Mavericks in February.

But after hearing Brian Windhorst announce that "there's no Giannis Antetokounmpo trade market" on Tuesday, the odds of him leaving Milwaukee are looking nothing more than rumors.

Giannis Antetokounmpo reminisces on the NBA's former senior insider, Adrian Wojnarowski

With a new NBA senior insider in Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar took to X on Wednesday, and it seems that he's throwing shots at Charania.

"Does anyone else miss Woj?!" Giannis Antetokounmpo posted on Wednesday.

"He's calling Shams fake news lmao," one fan replied to the post.

It looks like Antetokounmpo isn't a fan of Shams Charania and misses the old NBA senior insider that held the role from 2017 to 2024.

The transition between insiders began at the start of the 2024-25 season when Wojnarowski decided to step down of the position to pursue a career in being the general manager of his alma mater, St. Bonaventure University's men's basketball program.

This led to Shams Charania filling in the role and taing on the duties of breaking the top headlines in the NBA from now on.
