"There remains skepticism that Milwaukee is actually open to moving Giannis Antetokounmpo, team and league sources said," adds Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.
That said, several teams have been contacting Milwaukee in hopes of acquiring Giannis.
The Bucks have entertained discussions and considered certain trade scenarios, but executive Jon Horst and the front office have not officially declared him available, as reported by Siegel.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, and Miami Heat are believed to be the three most aggressive teams pursuing Giannis.
However, recent reports indicate the Heat are no longer in the running.
Meanwhile, the Bucks are not interested in the Warriors' offer, which involves veteran forward Draymond Green, and Minnesota's proposal is still incomplete, as they are reportedly hesitant to include Jaden McDaniels.
