The Milwaukee Bucks have essentially emptied their entire asset cabinet in hopes of fielding a strong roster outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Now, they have just a 2031 first-round pick, and while it will be on the table in trade discussions, recent reporting from ESPN's Shams Charania, who states that Giannis had a desire to join the Knicks this summer, makes it a lot more difficult to agree to it.
Trading that pick and then losing Giannis could be disastrous
Jon Horst, Milwaukee's general manager, has never wavered from his aggressive stance. Trades for players like Damian Lillard, Jrue Holiday, and Eric Bledsoe prove it.
