What’s summer without a little Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks? You can almost hear the collective discussion from Milwaukee, can’t you? Just when the Bucks thought they’d quieted the noise with a bold swing for Myles Turner, the rumor mill got right back into action.

However, prior to that, the Bucks had an interest in trading for another star in the form of Jimmy Butler. That deal would’ve involved Middleton, but according to former Bucks fan favorite John Henson, Giannis Antetokounmpo shut down those trade talks.

For now, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are expected to stay together for another run. At the same time, the idea of the Bucks and their biggest star running it back still seems slightly up in the air.
