The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly determined to avoid trading Giannis Antetokounmpo. And in doing so, they might wind up swinging a move that pushes him right into the arms of the New York Knicks no later than next offseason.
In Jake Fischer’s latest intel round-up over at The Stein Line, he reports “Milwaukee is messaging that it wants to be buyers at this deadline to try” getting more help for Giannis. A rival general manager even tells Fischer that “the Bucks have convinced [Giannis] that ‘they’re going big-game hunting.’”
If you’re wondering whether the Bucks have the assets to go “big-game hunting,” well, you’re not alone.
