A league source told NetsDaily the same thing, that Brooklyn has been interested in Giannis for years. “The Nets have always been about Giannis.” Also in late September, well before the Bucks’ early season woes, ESPN reporters speculated about a final destination for the Greek Freak. The Nets were mentioned prominently then, too.

What happens with Giannis mostly just depends on Giannis. What happens with Damian Lillard after is much trickier.
I have no idea what his trade value is today. Some nights he looks like Dame. Some nights he doesn’t. He’s never been a good defender. We’re in scary apron world. – 10:23 PM

Looked at some of the small and big trends in Milwaukee thus far this season.
– A new off-ball wrinkle for Giannis Antetokounmpo
– Brook Lopez’s rim protection
– What’s going on in the possession battle?

More on this storyline
The Milwaukee Bucks were blown out by the Memphis Grizzlies, 122-99, in FedExForum on Thursday. “Losing, it is frustrating,” said Giannis Antetokounmpo after a fourth straight loss in the 2024-25 NBA Regular Season, “My dad used to say why whine if you are not going to give up. I am not going to give up.” -via EuroHoops.net / November 1, 2024
An Eastern Conference NBA executive has already heard the places believed to be Giannis Antetokounmpo’s would-be preferred destinations: “The teams I’ve heard are Miami and New York — the Nets, not the Knicks.” There are also other teams with the means, in theory, to go after a player of Giannis’ caliber. The Oklahoma City Thunder certainly come to mind, and I asked the Eastern Conference executive about the Thunder potentially making a run if Milwaukee’s big man eventually wants out. “I haven’t heard them mentioned, but yeah, if you’re Milwaukee you might just go, ‘I don’t give a f— what you want. If you want out, we’re getting the best deal we can.’ And Oklahoma City could definitely offer a good one.” -via CBSSports.com / October 31, 2024
All of this could lead exactly to the place the Bucks organization most fears: Giannis Antetokounmpo in another team’s jersey. “Teams are circling — and hopeful,” one Western Conference team executive said. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline,” said a top executive of a team that could be in the mix. -via CBSSports.com / October 31, 2024
