ESPN also reports that Antetokounmpo asked the Bucks for a trade before this season started, naming the New York Knicks as his preferred destination.

While the nine-time All-Star has continued to play at an elite level this season, the Bucks are 9-13 and have lost eight of the last nine games.

Antetokounmpo has been one of the more loyal superstars of the last decade, but it wouldn’t be shocking if his tenure in Milwaukee ended this season.
