Thunder, Rockets, Spurs Not Expected To Pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo

At this point, the Milwaukee Bucks are not expected to make Giannis Antetokounmpo available via trade unless the superstar forward asks to be traded. Should Antetokounmpo ask to leave the Bucks, don't expect three Western Conference powers to get involved in trade talks.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are all expected to pass on jumping in on discussions to acquire Antetokounmpo. The Thunder, Rockets and Spurs are expected to have the assets to chase the Bucks star forward, but all three teams are believed to like how their teams are currently positioned.

Giannis missed his window to be traded to a contender. All the back and forth for the past few seasons. He has no one to blame but himself.

3 years late asking for a trade. but io respect him giving milwaukee a shot, these last couple years.

he signed an extensoin in 23, thats when they shoulve looked for a destination together. Would have been best for Giannis and the Bucks.

Even if giannis gets his wish and gets traded to the knicks (assuming those reports are true). He "wasted" two mvp caliber seasons in his prime.

And honestly, at this point its not a no brainer anymore to trade for giannis. 2 years ago all that 2nd apron talk wasnt a thing, giannnis is injury prone and nearing the end of his prime. if we are trading the farm for giannis, im gonna be so pissed. I like the team we have right now. Id much rather get 1 or 2 more legit rotation pieces (like donte).

I thought he already did request a trade? I'm getting so sick of sports media these days. They are absolutely unreliable and just make **** up like Fox news every day. Please shut up about Giannis.
