Giannis trade gets 8 hour timeline from Bobby Marks
The Milwaukee Bucks and It looks like Giannis Antetokounmpo is headed for a divorce at some point, either before the trade deadline or in the offseason. If it were so happen before the deadlinethe sense is that it will happen in the next eight hours, according to ESPN’s Bobby Marks.
“We’ll know if there’s a Giannis deal in the next 8 hours. … There’s a lot of moving parts here and I think there’s going to have to be a Giannis-type trade framework by midnight.”

There are several teams that have shown interest in Antetokounmpo over the past week, and the Bucks are likely weighing their picks on who has the best package. At the same time, the Bucks don’t need to trade him now and can wait until the offseason, where they could likely get more in return.
If the Bucks were to make a deal now, teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors are the two that have shown the most interest. The Timberwolves traded Mike Conley Jr. to create cap space should they make a deal, and they have the players to send to the Bucks for Antetokounmpo.
Clutch Points’ Brett Siegel also noticed Antetokounmpo has the Timberwolves on top of his list when it comes to trade destinations.
As for the Warriors, they will likely need help from a third or fourth team to facilitate a trade for Antetokounmpo, but they also appear to be open to trading Draymond Green, as he could be part of the deal.
Ultimately, the Bucks don’t have to force a trade if they don’t see anything they like, and they could do their best in the offseason to improve their team to convince Antetokounmpo to stay.
