With the NBA season ending with the Oklahoma City Thunder winning the title, other teams are quietly doing their business. As the new season is coming in, most teams are looking to build a strong and quality side. And one player that has taken the transfer market by storm is Giannis Antetokounmpo. While he has been a phenom for the Milwaukee Bucks, Antetokounmpo is now willing to switch sides.
And that is exactly why teams are playing the waiting game. In a recent interaction, Brian Windhorst elaborated on how potential suitors of Antetokounmpo are waiting to see how the Bucks approach the situation. Windhorst pointed out how teams like the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Houston Rockets, and San Antonio Spurs have not made a move in the trade market so far.
“And a lot of teams that think that they could trade for Giannis have been watching this very closely. And teams like San Antonio or Houston or Miami or New York, they specifically have stayed out of other major transactions,” said Windhorst.
"I honestly do not see how the Bucks are going to be a team at the end of the week, we look at and say that's a guaranteed top-4 team"

“This is someone who keeps things close to the vest. This is someone who always does things in quiet. So, I’m sure there are conversations going on right now that we don’t even know about around Giannis Antetokounmpo and his camp… I think the focus right now is what can Milwaukee do to make this team better,” Charania said.
