Report: Giannis Antetokounmpo could ask Bucks for trade

The trade rumors surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo seem to have quieted down in recent weeks, but there is still reason for Milwaukee Bucks fans to feel a bit uneasy.

During Monday morning’s edition of “Get Up” on ESPN, Shams Charania reported that Antetokounmpo is still deciding whether he wants to remain with the Bucks or request a trade. Charania first reported in May that Giannis was open-minded for the first time about playing elsewhere, and that apparently remains the case.

“Sources tell me there’s still nothing set in stone about whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will stay in Milwaukee or whether he will be leaving,” Charania said. “He’s continuing to evaluate his future. I reported in mid-May that he’s evaluating whether his best fit is in Milwaukee or is it elsewhere, and that process is continuing. There’s been some very real conversations over the past week or so.

“The constant question Giannis has is, “Can I win a championship with this roster?’ … He wants to win a second championship, so he’s asking that question over and over. There are multiple teams waiting in the wings, potentially, if Giannis this offseason still makes that decision.”
