Minnesota is said to be one of four teams pursuing Giannis ahead of the February 5 trade deadline.
Antetokounmpo is reportedly a fan of Anthony Edwards and would like to join him if he leaves Milwaukee.
However, NBA insider Marc Stein notes that the only way the Wolves could currently construct a deal is by including Jaden McDaniels – a player the team is reportedly reluctant to trade.
Evan Sidery adds that Minnesota's aggressive pursuit of Giannis is partly driven by the team's new ownership group, which includes Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez.
A potential Timberwolves trade package for Giannis could include Jaden McDaniels, Naz Reid, Rob Dillingham, and Joan Beringer.
