5 Increasingly desperate moves Bucks should make to keep Giannis happy

1. Trade for Kyrie

Kyrie Irving just signed a three-year $126 million deal with the Mavericks this summer, but the team’s play will determine the length of his stay. Dallas crashed out of the playoffs after acquiring the eight-time All-Star at the deadline. If they are not back in contention, Kyrie could ask to be traded and send their franchise into turmoil.

The Mavs made a desperate trade for Irving in February, and Milwaukee could be the next team to land the superstar. Kyrie’s talent is unquestionable, but he has forced his way off three teams already. Dallas would be the fourth. Irving has struggled to stay on the floor in recent years and there is always drama following him.

If Giannis Antetokounmpo agrees to extend because Kyrie Irving joins the team, that is a win for the Milwaukee Bucks. Keeping them both happy and the roster in contention won’t be easy, but without Giannis, the franchise will be in a total rebuild. This is a massive risk that will end badly, but it could be a last-ditch move to try to keep the Greek Freak in Cream City.

How desperate will the Milwaukee Bucks get to try to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo happy? Stay tuned to find out.
