With Antetokounmpo plagued by injuries and limited to just 36 games this past season, the Milwaukee Bucks appear ready to move on and initiate a rebuild. When asked if the trade will happen in the next 24 hours, Stein said: "If you force me to make a choice, yes. But I'm really taking my cues from every team I talk to, and every agent I talk to, and the answer comes back 'yes' every time".

Personally I don't understand why Boston would consider trading Brown for Giannis. Is there a relationship issue? Giannis might be a better player, but when you take into account age and (un)availability, I would be far more comfortable paying max money to Brown than to Giannis. Brown has three years left on his deal while Giannis would command a max extension at age 31, that would lock him far into his thirties and could quickly become a huge albatross deal if the lingering injuries he was dealing with in last two seasons continue.
