3 More Star Players To Follow Giannis Antetokounmpo Out of Milwaukee If He Goes

The Giannis Antetokounmpo rumors continue to swirl, despite the superstar currently sitting out with a calf injury. Will the Milwaukee Bucks trade their two-time MVP and Finals MVP? The latest from insider Jake Fischer is that if they do decide to cash in their chips and trade Giannis, it would be followed by a parade of other veterans headed out the door. Like stars Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma, and Bobby Portis.

The Bucks could blow it up and also trade Myles Turner, Kyle Kuzma, and Bobby Portis if Giannis leaves, per @JakeLFischer

“That could mean several different outcomes … outcomes that the Bucks are indeed projected by rival front offices to be actively pondering in the coming weeks," writes Fischer.

Teams feel the Bucks would initiate a full teardown without Giannis

"Some teams out there think the post-Giannis Bucks would want to initiate a full-scale teardown that includes trading away veterans like the title-winning Bobby Portis, February acquisition Kyle Kuzma and offseason addition Myles Turner. Even then, though, there would be loud questions.”

Much of this makes sense. Without Giannis, and a team focused on winning, Turner's new four-year, $108.86 million deal, signed in free agency this past summer, would make no sense for the Bucks to hang on to. Both he and Kuzma have struggled since arriving in Milwaukee.

And with the team struggling even with the Greek Freak (at 10-15 on the season), they will certainly look to do a full reset without him.

It was revealed recently that Giannis was unhappy with the Bucks this past summer, and asked for a trade to the New York Knicks before the season. But when the Knicks couldn't come up with a satisfactory package in return, the Bucks held on to him. Now, we've heard again that Antetokounmpo and team brass were meeting to discuss his future with the club.

We've already gotten some intriguing trade proposals posited, including one to the Lakers, and another to the Hawks called 'an offer Milwaukee couldn't refuse'.
