Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-Imagn Imagesoff to a surprisingly decent start, the rumor mill has been churning about whether they will be buyers on the trade market — and that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be on their radar.
Meanwhile, in Milwaukee, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are struggling out of the gate. 11 games into the season, they are 3-8 and question marks around head coach Doc Rivers and his future with the team continue to swirl. The Bucks fired head coach Adrian Griffin midway through last season despite coaching Milwaukee to a 30-13 record. Doc Rivers replaced Griffin, and has since amassed a 20-27 record in his first 47 games with the team.
Brooklyn fans remember the 2018-19 Nets, who exceeded all expectations en route to a six-seed in the 2019 NBA playoffs. That summer, they hit the jackpot, signing Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, and in January 2021, trading for James Harden. Although the Nets didn’t get the result they wanted with that group, they were able to land on their feet.
Still, the Nets now have a war chest of draft picks that they can use to make a big deal for a franchise-changing superstar like Antetokounmpo. Ironically, that war chest includes the Bucks’ first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
