Teams around the league are doubting whether the Milwaukee Bucks will be able to convince Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay by building an Eastern Conference contender without Damian Lillard, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

Before that trade, the Bucks didn’t control any selections in this year’s draft, since they’d traded both of them in years prior—they would have been 19th and 49th. Milwaukee’s 2025 first-rounder now resides with Brooklyn after originally being traded to New Orleans way back in 2020 in the Jrue Holiday trade.
