Bucks predicted to make shocking blockbuster trade, dealing Giannis Antetokounmpo for massive package headlined by $215 million four-time All-Star<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Milwaukee Bucks<\/a> are facing a crisis: the usually repeat contenders are 14-20, and in 11th place in a weak Eastern Conference. With this in mind, face of the franchise Giannis Antetokounmpo might want out, and ask for a trade.<\/p>\n

If he does, there\u2019s one team that makes a lot of sense. Fansided\u2019s Eamon Cassels<\/a> that team is the Atlanta Hawks<\/a>, and the players headlining a trade would be Trae Young and Zaccharie Risascher.<\/p>\n

The trade would look like this:<\/p>\n

Hawks get: PF Giannis Antetokounmpo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mavericks get: PG Trae Young, SF Zaccharie Risacher, draft capital TBD<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the Milwaukee Bucks decide to move off of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Hawks are one of the most obvious suitors, given their slew of draft capital. It’s also fair to expect that the Bucks would want some win-now talent back as they don’t outright own their first-round pick until 2031. As such, it’s easy to deal centered around Young, Risacher, and significant draft capital. Of course, this comes with the major caveat that the Bucks are open to trading Giannis. Regardless, a package from the Hawks could be the best offer Milwaukee would get, and Risacher would certainly be a part of this,\u201d Cassels wrote.<\/p>\n

This works for both sides, as the Hawks get a titan in Antetokounmpo to pair with their budding superstar in Jalen Johnson, and the Bucks get a mountain of picks for a rebuild, and a duo of Young\/Risacher to keep themselves in contention.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, the Bucks figure out something soon, so they don\u2019t have to trade their franchise player. However, if they continue to slip, they might need to consider this.<\/p>\n
