Giannis Antetokounmpo’s gesture amid trade rumors has sparked buzz

About the trade rumors Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo continue to get louder, keeping fans guessing as to where it will end up.
Antetokounmpo has been linked to almost every teamand with good reason. The two-time MVP is still in his prime, although he has been plagued by several injuries over the past few years. Still, it’s almost a crime to miss out a chance to acquire the Bucks forward. Or at least ask around.
NBA insider Chris Haynes made the revelation on Tuesday Antetokounmpo has already spoken to his teammates amid trade rumors, stressing that they need to focus more on basketball instead of outside noise.
“His point was he’s here for now, he wants to get better, he wants to make sure he gets his game back on point, makes sure he comes back from the injury. But he understood (the concern) and he conveyed the message that he can’t control what’s happening or what’s happening to him at all,” Haynes said on NBA TV.
