Giannis Antetokounmpo Refuses To Sit Next To Bucks Teammates Amid Trade Rumors

Giannis Antetokounmpo has had it with the Milwaukee Bucks.

A few days ago, Antetokounmpo expressed his frustration with how the team has been playing so far this season – and understandably so.

Milwaukee is 1-4 in their last five outings and has been struggling against even terrible squads like the Brooklyn Nets and Chicago Bulls.

During their most recent loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Antetokounmpo refused to sit next to his Bucks teammates:

This comes on the heels of a report suggesting that Antetokounmpo wanted to be traded to one of two Eastern Conference squads if the Bucks decide to move him.

“Teams are circling—and hopeful,” an anonymous executive for a Western Conference team told CBS Sports insider Bill Reiter.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened by the trade deadline,” said a top executive of one of the squads involved in conversations about acquiring Antetokounmpo.

According to one Eastern Conference exec, Antetokounmpo  has interest in two teams.

“The teams I’ve heard are Miami and New York — the Nets, not the Knicks,” he said.

Will Doc Rivers’ latest coaching choke job result in Antetokounmpo landing with one of the Bucks’ Eastern Conference rivals by the NBA Trade Deadline? Time will tell.
