Sources said Antetokounmpo has informed the Bucks for months that he believes the moment has come to part ways after 12-plus years together, making a trade increasingly possible.

    End of an era. If it’s real this time.

    The Bucks really dug themselves into a pretty deep hole with the last few coaching picks, bad drafting, and trades that didn’t quite work out. Some of that is Giannis’s fault.

    If they still had Dame, Mamu, and Donte, accepted this year as a rebuilding year, and had any other coach, this might have all played out differently.

    It’s clearly over. Where does he go and not ruin the receiving teams roster and/or draft capital to “compete now”? San antonio?

    Is he really going to get traded with his current injury and his contract? He’s 31 and his entire playstyle is built around intense athletic superiority. Once that diminishes, what kind of player will he realistically be? What team would want him?

    I think he won’t get traded before the deadline. Maybe in summer.
