Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade Rumors Rock Bucks, Fans Blame Durant LeBron

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Giannis Antetokounmpo is "open to a trade" and the Bucks are starting to listen to offers, sparking online debate. A fan blamed LeBron James and Kevin Durant for a trend of superstars leaving, and a Houston Rockets star called that "fake outrage." The comparison stumbles because neither LeBron nor Durant asked out of their original teams, and Giannis has spent 13 seasons in Milwaukee, delivering nine All-Star nods, two MVPs and the 2020-21 title. Merlin sees a champion balancing loyalty and ambition. After more than a decade and a ring, Giannis looking around is less drama and more market math. Expect calls, probing offers and a summer that could reshape the East.
