According to Tim Bontemps of ESPN, his sources ”have emphatically said Milwaukee will not look to trade [Giannis] Antetokounmpo if he passes on the extension.” As opposed to trading the MVP, the Bucks “will try to improve their roster and use the next year to show Antetokounmpo why he should stay” in that scenario.

An unnamed NBA executive said that Victor Oladipo is “looking for a max deal” this offseason, according to Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report.

Rudy Gobert recently played 2-on-2 with European prospects Victor Wembanyama and Maxime Raynaud, as well as Celtics big man Vincent Poirier. Wembanyama could be a generational talent.

Amare Stoudemire will reportedly re-sign with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

Kawhi Leonard “privately has clamored” for the Clippers to upgrade their point guard position.
