Insider Shams:Giannis has told the Bucks that it's time to break up and is ready to seek a new home before the trade deadline this year or in the summer offseason...

With Giannis's position clear, the Bucks will not hold him back and are certain they can't keep him. They have begun to carefully evaluate offers from various suitors, signaling the close of their 13-year collaboration.

As the biggest fish in today's trade market, Giannis being officially put up for sale has caused a huge stir across the NBA. The Bucks have received numerous aggressive offers, including All-Star caliber players and multiple draft picks. The likely new destinations currently include the Warriors, Timberwolves, Knicks, and Heat.

Yes, the Warriors have stepped up, with four first-round picks plus three first-round pick swap rights available to offer. However, since some of the Bucks' first-round picks are not in their control for certain years, they cannot accept the pick swap rights.

According to reporter Sidery, the Warriors have the capability to complete a trade directly with the Bucks without involving a third party,and their potential offer includes Butler, Kuminga, Poole, and several draft picks.This is the advantage they hold over competitors like the Heat and Knicks.

Of course, considering Butler recently suffered an ACL tear in his right knee and is 36 years old, the Bucks are not particularly interested in him based on ability and future outlook. However, one appealing factor is that his current contract expires next summer, so he wouldn't be a long-term salary cap burden.

Butler got injured, and immediately the Warriors want to trade for him. It's harsh and ruthless, but the NBA has always been a business driven by interests, and everyone involved is well accustomed to this reality.

Last year's trade deadline saw the Warriors trade away 2022 championship contributor Wiggins to acquire Butler; naturally, this year they could trade Butler, or even four-time champion veteran Draymond Green, to get Giannis.

So far this season, the Bucks stand at 18 wins and 27 losses, ranking 12th in the East, 4 games behind the 10th-place Bulls; the Warriors hold a 27-22 record, sitting 8th in the West, 2.5 games behind the 6th-place Timberwolves.
