Bucks Stand Firm: Giannis Antetokounmpo Not Available for Trade

The Bucks are making it clear that Giannis Antetokounmpo is not available for trade, reaffirming their commitment to the team's leader. Instead of weakening the roster, the Bucks are aiming to strengthen it, searching for the right player to complement Giannis. According to reports, they have already held discussions for players like Ja Morant, Zach LaVine, Malik Monk, and Grant, while also considering more 'expensive' contracts like those of Andrew Wiggins and Miles Bridges. The team is willing to offer a package including Ryan Rollins, Kyle Kuzma, Bobby Portis, and a first-round draft pick in 2031 for Ja Morant. The franchise's future will be decided in the coming weeks, with the trade deadline approaching.
