The Portland Trail Blazers have valuable future Milwaukee Bucks draft capital thanks to trading away Damian Lillard in 2023. That looked even more valuable with Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors spiraling this season. If Giannis requested a trade, the Bucks would inevitably collapse, increasing the odds the Blazers would add a coveted draft prospect to an already promising young core.
But in Giannis' latest interview with Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Greek Freak firmly addresses those trade rumors, making it clear that he won't be requesting a trade out of Milwaukee this season. Or any season, for that matter.
