Charania The Milwaukee Bucks believe they can build a contender around Giannis Antetokounmpo this Summer and get him on board with remaining with the team long term

Giannis wants to be the good guy even though he acknowledges that it's probably time to move on If that's the case then he would wait until the summer when it could probably be the best offer in terms of him getting probably where he wants to be and the Bucks can get the most in return

Charania The Golden State Warriors have officially ended their pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo Golden State was of the belief that Milwaukee is not serious about trading their 2x MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo at the deadline

Haynes Giannis Antetokounmpo never requested a trade from the Milwaukee Bucks He is happy in Milwaukee and committed to the Bucks

Giannis on his future I want to win a championship with the Milwaukee Bucks If that's not on the table then that's when you go 'maybe I have to pivot because I really want to win'

Charania The Warriors came to the belief over the last 24 hours that the Bucks were not going to be moving their two-time MVP at this trade deadline

Charania Over the weekend the Bucks remained engaged with teams that have interest given aggressive proposals My understanding is they've submitted counteroffers to those aggressive proposals as well
