However, prior to that, the Bucks had an interest in trading for another star in the form of Jimmy Butler. That deal would’ve involved Middleton, but according to former Bucks fan favorite John Henson, Giannis Antetokounmpo shut down those trade talks.

The biggest name being floated for legitimate trade discussions is Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks. The "Greek Freak" is still just 30 years old and has accomplished a great deal in the league.

Shortly after the news of Lillard being waived went public, Chris Haynes reported that Antetokounmpo was not happy with the move. It's long been rumored that the Bucks star could potentially move on from Milwaukee. A move like this could be the catalyst behind that.
