Overview
- Team officials have told rivals they seek present-day roster help rather than entertaining offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to The Athletic.
- League reporting says the Bucks have checked on Zach LaVine as a potential addition to boost perimeter scoring.
- Giannis has been out since December 3 with a calf strain, the Bucks are 2-8 without him and now sit 11-16 after a 127-82 loss to Brooklyn.
- Milwaukee can currently trade only one first-round pick before the February 5 deadline, limiting package flexibility.
- Recent moves include stretching and waiving Damian Lillard’s contract, signing Myles Turner to a multi-year deal, and adding Cole Anthony, with several players newly trade-eligible as of today.
