The Los Angeles Lakers aren't going to be able to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo at this year's deadline.
Giannis Antetokounmpo just made it clear that he will not request a trade away from the Milwaukee Bucks. “There will never be a chance, and there will never be a moment that I will come out and say, ‘I want a trade,’ ” Antetokounmpo, who can opt out of his contract in the summer of 2027, told Sam Amick of The Athletic.
