The workout photos come amidst swirling trade rumors about Giannis. Shams Charania would not let go of his previous reports that the Greek Freak will be traded even if Doc Rivers and Antetokounmpo himself already said that he will remain a Buck.

Trade transactions are already ongoing and the Bucks are not an exception. General manager Jon Horst recently said they are going to make aggressive moves to surround Giannis with players that will return them to contention.
That does not stop the youngsters from flying to Greece to join their superstar in summer workout. They could be trade pieces for the GM but that does not deter them from putting in the work.

Among those who are reportedly in Greece are the team’s youngsters namely Tyler Smith, Andre Jackson and Chris Livingston. Ryan Rollins and AJ Green are expected to join them according to long-time Bucks commentator and Milwaukee great Marques Johnson.
Sounds like Giannis is going to be taking Ryan Rollins and AJ Green to Greece this Summer.
