Part 4/8:
The Bucks must conduct their trade negotiations without allowing Giannis's preferences to dictate their strategy. They should outline their best trades and communicate to other teams what they would accept in exchange for Giannis. If any offer fails to meet their expectations, they must stand firm. The potential for high-value trades remains, especially with the Spurs holding crucial draft picks and talented young players.
Crucially, Milwaukee need not feel under pressure to act quickly. Giannis still has two years remaining on his current contract, with a player option that is unlikely to be exercised. This dynamic allows the Bucks the luxury of time and strategic leverage, even amidst the noise surrounding Giannis's willingness to leave.
