• NBA insiders report that Antetokounmpo's preferred trade destinations include the Lakers, Knicks, Heat, Clippers, and potentially Houston, though no formal trade request has been made.
• The Bucks have stated they will not trade Antetokounmpo unless he personally asks, citing his financial and competitive value to the franchise.
• A Lakers trade pitch has been proposed, suggesting a package including Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and draft assets to form a possible superteam with Luka Dončić and LeBron James.
