Giannis Antetokounmpo, The Nets and Milwaukee Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks could add an offensive force that meshes well with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.
The Brooklyn Nets have their eyes set on trading for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo over the likes of De'Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler.
The Brooklyn Nets haven't gotten involved in the Jimmy Butler or De'Aaron Fox rumors, why not? They're focused on someone else instead.
So, if Brooklyn trades him, they want something they deem worthwhile. Hawks on SI proposed an trade involving the Bucks, Nets and Atlanta Hawks, where the Bucks received Johnson and draft picks and give up Bobby Portis, Pat Connaughton, Delon Wright and AJ Johnson. This is a plausible way for Milwaukee to get their guy.
The Nets' interest in Kings star De'Aaron Fox underscores the teams intriguing flexibility during year one of a rebuild.
Cam Johnson's Nets future remains unclear as he remains sidelined by an ankle injury with the trade deadline approaching.
With the Indiana Pacers continuing to climb the Eastern Conference ranks, postseason success is becoming a less lofty aspiration by the day. However, a player previously believed to be highly coveted by the Pacers may not be where they turn to for a move to bring them closer to championship contention.
