Antetokounmpo Linked to Lakers, Knicks, Heat, Bulls

Speculation is growing that Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo could be traded if he formally requests a move, with reports indicating he would favor large-market teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, or Chicago Bulls. Multiple franchises are preparing trade packages, even as the Bucks have not revealed their plans regarding Antetokounmpo's future and face challenges due to limited assets for team improvement. Proposed trades with teams like the Raptors and Rockets could yield Milwaukee young players and draft picks. The Lakers are actively seeking a superstar addition, while the Bucks are considering other moves, such as targeting Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from Orlando, to keep Antetokounmpo. The NBA offseason is expected to be marked by major trade rumors, including those involving Kevin Durant and Lauri Markkanen. Several teams are weighing significant roster changes after early playoff exits.
