New Details Emerge on Bucks-Spurs Trade Talks for Giannis Antetokounmpo originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Milwaukee Bucks have a lot of questions to answer this offseason, as nobody knows what direction the franchise will go. For the past three seasons, the Bucks have been eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and it seems like it would be time for them to make some major changes.

Next season, things might not be the same, as Damian Lillard will most likely miss most of the season as he recovers from an Achilles injury.
Everyone is now looking at Giannis Antetokounmpo to see if he will request a trade or decide to stay with the team. As of now, there are rumors that several teams could look to put packages together for the former MVP.

One of the teams that has been rumored is the San Antonio Spurs, and a pairing of Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama would be dangerous for the league.
As of now, there hasn’t been much movement on a potential deal, according to ESPN’s Michael C. Wright: “The Spurs haven’t held any substantive discussions regarding [Antetokounmpo], according to sources, and Phoenix’s asking price [for Kevin Durant] might be too steep for a franchise looking to remain cautious during the early years of Wembanyama’s career.”

In any trade involving Antetokounmpo, the Bucks will want a lot of assets in return. The Spurs might not want to get rid of some of their key players, so they’ll probably stand pat.
