The Milwaukee Bucks are comfortably sitting in the 5th spot in the Eastern Conference. Although they secured a playoff spot, it does not mean there should be room to relax as the NBA regular season comes to an end.

The Bucks management knew that someday, their franchise player Giannis Antetokounmpo could go elsewhere in the next years. With his recurring injuries and contract, he might be traded to Los Angeles Lakers, if the rumors are true.

The Milwaukee Bucks are dealing with a make-or-break offseason at the moment. Even after they signed Giannis to a three-year contract, cracks are emerging. Pivotal injuries like Damian Lillard's struggle with deep vein thrombosis, combined with persistent postseason frustrations, have shrouded the franchise's title ambitions.

As per Spencer See of ClutchPoints, the Greek Freak became a game-changer for the Milwaukee organization when it led the franchise to its first NBA championship in five decades. However, with increasing issues, his allegiance to the Bucks might be put to the test.

With the Bucks unable to retool around their star, the storyline could rapidly turn into one where Giannis looks elsewhere, Los Angeles being an obvious choice among them.

Why the Lakers Should Go All-In for Giannis

The Lakers' front office has always been aggressive with its moves. Acquiring Giannis would not only bolster their playoff campaign but also create one of the strongest Big Threes in NBA history: LeBron, Giannis, and Luka.

Apart from star talent, Giannis is a consistent paint threat who could make open shots for LeBron and Luka. The one-time NBA champion is also an elite two-way player who could guard any position.

Potential Trade Package: A Win-Win?

According to Sports Tak, a hypothetical trade involves sending Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Dorian Finney-Smith, and future draft picks for Antetokounmpo and Gary Trent Jr.

Lakers will benefit from Giannis' scoring, defense, and championship experience and Trent Jr.'s shooting. On the other hand, the Bucks will have the chance to rebuild around young players to be a top 3 team in the next three or five years.

LeBron's window is closing, and Luka is entering his prime, so the Lakers need to act quickly. If Giannis becomes a free agent, LA's front office needs to leave no stone unturned to get the Greek Freak.

In our recent NBA trade rumor report, the Bucks could get Wendell Carter Jr. in exchange for Brook Lopez.
