ESPN's insider-iest NBA insider, Shams Charania, sent shock waves through the league on Monday with a report that nine-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo is - for the first time in his career - open to playing somewhere other than Milwaukee.

The Giannis Antetokounmpo sweepstakes are just getting started. With Damian Lillard likely missing all or most of next season, an aging roster, and almost no trade assets, the odds of the Milwaukee Bucks seriously competing next season aren’t great.

The primary talk of the NBA offseason for this summer could very well surround the prospects of a blockbuster Giannis Antetokounmpo trade from the Milwaukee Bucks. Following the team's third-straight first-round exit,

Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP, a one-time Finals MVP, a one-time Defensive Player of the Year and a nine-time All-Star. The superstar forward has career averages of 23.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 blocks.

After a fourth straight disappointing early playoff exit for the Milwaukee Bucks, it's long past the time we start asking the question if Giannis Antetokounmpo should start considering his options elsewhere.

The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly interested in trading for Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, but Dwight Howard could get in the way.

If Antetokounmpo does request a trade and the Bucks make him available, there will be several teams looking to acquire the star. One of those teams could be the Golden State Warriors, and they may have a good chance due to Stephen Curry’s relationship with Antetokounmpo, according to The Athletic.
