Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks and what I’m hearing

The two untouchable assets the Hawks are reportedly holding out in a potential move for Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Houston Rockets have the assets, the flexibility and the urgency to pursue a generational upgrade. On paper, few teams in the NBA are better positioned to construct a competitive offer for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
If the Bucks entertained an offer from the Raptors, they would likely ask for Barnes first. He is about seven years younger than Antetokounmpo, who has dealt with injury issues in several seasons — including this year. Odds are Barnes will never approach Antetokounmpo’s excellence, but he’s cheaper, younger and healthier.
