Not buying it. Only way the Bucks would even consider this is if Giannis flat-out told them he is not re-signing with Milwaukee. Then you try to salvage something. By all indications, Giannis is very happy and the Bucks are winning with a great coach and culture. Golden State could be floating this out there or people in the NBA that love stars in big markets.

Middleton is 28 and just signed a multi-year deal. People tend to forget that Klay Thompson is 30, Steph Curry is 32. Golden State's best days might be behind them. I think Giannis stays in Milwaukee.
