Antetokounmpo is being linked to almost every single team , and for good reason. The two-time MVP is still in his prime, although he's been bothered by several injuries over the past few years. Still, it's almost a crime to pass up on the chance to acquire the Bucks forward . Or inquire, at the very least.
NBA insider Chris Haynes revealed on Tuesday that Antetokounmpo already talked to his teammates amid the trade rumors, stressing that they need to focus more on basketball instead of the outside noise.
"His point was he's here for the time being, wanting to get better, wanting to make sure he gets his game back on point, making sure he gets back from his injury. But he understood (the concerns) and he relayed the message that he can't control what goes on or what even happens to him," said Haynes on NBA TV.
Fans had mixed reactions to Antetokounmpo's gesture and comments.
