Breaking news NBA trade deadline: Heat and Wolves, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo

NBA Trade Deadline Market: Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat continue to stand out as two of the teams closely monitoring a possible deal for Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA market closes this Thursday at 9:00 PM Spanish Peninsula time. However, similar to what happened with the Golden State Warriors before redirecting their efforts towards trading Kristaps Porzingis, there is a widespread belief that the Milwaukee Bucks will not move their star player before the deadline.

Partly due to this reluctance to trade Antetokounmpo, the Wisconsin franchise is exploring different avenues to improve the team around their franchise player. One of the options being considered is adding the point guard Ja Morant, currently playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.

Memphis' Reconstruction

Memphis, on the other hand, appears to be leaning towards a reconstruction process after trading Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz earlier this week. In this context, the Grizzlies might accept a package of shorter-term contracts and rotation players in exchange for Morant, which could open up negotiations with the Bucks in the final moments of the market.
