Speculation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks has been rife as the team started poorly at 2-8. However, recent improvements, including a 4-1 stretch, have quelled immediate trade talks.

The Houston Rockets, currently thriving with a 10-5 record, are focused on developing their young talent rather than pursuing a trade for Antetokounmpo. Both teams are not interested in a deal at this time, with serious discussions likely deferred until next offseason.
