Despite the fact that Giannis Antetokounmpo has not decided whether or not he wants to be traded from the Milwaukee Bucks, teams are anticipating that will happen.

Antetokounmpo has given an indication that he would be open to moving on to a different franchise for the first time in his career. Trade proposals have been springing up ever since.

No trade can be executed until the NBA Finals are over and free agency begins. Antetokounmpo is expected to have an answer for the Bucks well before that time comes.

If this is something that was actually proposed to the Bucks, they should absolutely accept it. It would give them enough to build around RJ Barrett and use the draft picks to further add to the roster.

It's highly unlikely that something like this would ever happen because it's so complicated. Very rarely do four-team trades happen. It's even rarer when they include one of the five best players on the planet.
