Report: Bucks won't trade Giannis Antetokounmpo if he doesn't sign extension

If the Milwaukee Bucks actually decide to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, it won't be the first time we've seen a major NBA superstar head to another team. 

However, the odds of Antetokounmpo being traded by the Bucks are slim. The reigning MVP is eligible to sign a super-max extension with Milwaukee, and multiple sources are "adamant" that the club won't trade him if he doesn't put pen to paper, according to ESPN's Tim Bontemps.

After the Bucks' 103-94 season-ending loss, Antetokounmpo essentially nixed any and all trade rumors by professing his commitment to Milwaukee and the future of the organization under general manager Jon Horst. 

"It’s not happening. That’s not happening," Antetokounmpo told Yahoo's Chris Haynes. "Some see a wall and go in (another direction). I plow through it. We just have to get better as a team, individually and get right back at it next season."

While Antetokounmpo is committed to the organization, it probably won't be an easy task to get him signed past 2021. If Milwaukee and the four-time All-Star can't work out a deal, they'll have to trade him before next season's trade deadline or risk losing him for nothing as an unrestricted free agent in 2021. 

A super-max contract with the Bucks could be worth about $220 million, which is around $80 million more than he could get from another team as a free agent after next season. 

There are reports that the Miami Heat and Toronto Raptors are front-runners to land Antetokounmpo if he leaves Milwaukee, though that could change over time.
