According to famous reporter Jake Fischer, the optimism of the outside world about getting Antetokounmpo's trade has almost disappeared. League sources said that the Bucks have never shown interest in other teams' transaction inquiries, and their operation direction is still based on the premise of "Antetokounmpo staying in the team".

The Bucks management has always stated that unless Antetokounmpo takes the initiative to apply for a transaction, they will not consider sending away the team's core, and more and more people are beginning to believe that Antetokounmpo will not enter the trading market.
