Report: Bucks open to taking trade calls on Giannis Antetokounmpo

Published

on

After a trade deadline period that was dominated by the Greek superstar’s name bandied about, only for nothing to happen, the NBA’s off-season looks primed to be swallowed up by talk of Antetokounmpo trade discussion.

According to a report from ESPN’s Shams Charania on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks are now “open for business” on trade calls for the two-time league MVP.

Antetokounmpo has said repeatedly that he likes playing in Milwaukee but wants to play for a franchise committed to competing for championships. The Bucks went 32-50 this season to snap a string of nine straight playoff appearances.

The Bucks can offer Antetokounmpo a four-year, $275-million contract extension in October. If Antetokounmpo doesn’t sign, he could become a free agent after next season.

Milwaukee co-owner Jimmy Haslam would like the matter settled long before October and spoke Wednesday as though the decision rests with the Bucks as much as it does with Antetokounmpo.

“We never had any problem communicating directly with Giannis — at all — and always knew where he stood,” Haslam said. “And I think he always knew where we stood. We’ve had those kind of conversations since the season was over. … So, sometime over the next six or seven weeks, we’ll decide whether Giannis is going to sign a max contract and stay with us, or he’s going to play somewhere else. And Jon and Taylor, along with (co-owner) Wes (Edens) and myself will make that call, and we understand the gravity of that call.”

Antetokounmpo has spent his entire 13-season career with the Bucks. The 31-year-old Milwaukee’s franchise leader in a slew of statistical categories, including games played, minutes played, total points, total assists and total rebounds.

Last season, he averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game in an injury-plagued season that saw him play just 36 games.

Danhausen referred to a popular WWE Superstar as a legend in a recent social media update. He met the star backstage at the Backlash Premium Live Event.

The name in question is former WWE Women’s Champion Asuka. The Japanese star competed against IYO SKY at the PLE. Unfortunately, she lost the bout, and the two stars embraced after the match. The Empress of Tomorrow waved at the crowd at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida, before walking to the back.

Earlier today, Danhausen took to Instagram to post a picture of himself standing alongside Asuka, with both of the two stars doing his signature “curse” pose, pointing toward the camera. He called Asuka a legend in the caption.

Speaking on the most recent edition of his The Phenomenally Retro Podcast, WWE Hall of Famer AJ Styles opined that the SmackDown star was doing a great job. The veteran noted that WWE needed a bit of everything on the show, and the 35-year-old was filling the need.

“He’s doing a great job, and this is what we need. A lot of people don’t understand it. We need a little bit of everything. We want to make sure you get the entertainment from wrestling, but also we want to make you laugh, too, and we got the storylines. We want to give you a little bit of everything. Danhausen is definitely filling the need,” he said. [H/T: WrestlePurists on X]

Very Nice, Very Evil had been trying to get The Miz to mentor him. It will be interesting to see what’s next for him after the win at the Backlash Premium Live Event.
