The Milwaukee Bucks have been fielding incoming trade inquiries for superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo over the last week as the NBA trade deadline approaches, according to Shams Charania.
While rival teams have been reaching out regarding the availability of the two-time MVP, the Bucks front office has also been actively canvassing the league for smaller salary-matching trades. Per Charania, Milwaukee remains in ongoing talks to potentially complete several minor moves before the deadline officially passes today.
The focus for the Bucks appears to be two-fold: managing the significant interest in their franchise cornerstone while simultaneously looking for marginal improvements to the supporting cast. The team has been one of the more active participants in trade discussions leading up to the final hours of the window, specifically looking at deals involving lower-tier salaries to balance the roster.
At this time, the Bucks remain primarily engaged in discussions surrounding those smaller salary moves as the clock winds down on deadline day. There is no confirmation of any imminent deal involving Antetokounmpo, despite the volume of incoming calls from around the league.
