Good scoop from Eric. This was a dynamic that league figures around Milwaukee and Giannis Antetokounmpo were already expecting back in early February could cause some friction if the Bucks didn’t trade their All-Star before the deadline. Now, here we are…
Eric Nehm@eric_nehm

The Milwaukee Bucks have approached Giannis Antetokounmpo about getting shut down the rest of this season, per league sources, but Antetokounmpo remains uninterested in such an approach. On the uncomfortable situation in Milwaukee, at @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/71281…

As the streaking Hawks host Milwaukee this afternoon, a reminder that Atlanta never emerged as a serious Giannis Antetokounmpo suitor. Why? In part because they’re already building through Jalen Johnson. "I got reassurance from everyone around here that that's not the plan,” Atlanta’s All-Star told @TheSteinLine. “Obviously it means a lot ... the trust they have in me and the belief they have in me."

What a quote from Fred VanVleet: “A nice little campfire makes you feel warm. You got marshmallows and s’mores. But if it turns into a wildfire — that kind of feels like where we are right now. I don’t know how you rein it back in.”
Tania Ganguli@taniaganguli

As NBPA pres Fred VanVleet worries about sports gambling's effect on players, particularly since money from gaming companies is about 1% of BRI. "It’s not substantial enough to make it worth any of this. For us or for the league." My story on his new role: nytimes.com/2026/03/04/bus…

Like Sixers fans, Jared McCain wasn’t remotely expecting his deal out of Philadelphia. Then Daryl Morey called his cell. “It was weird emotions,” McCain told me last week. “I’m crying and he's telling me I’m traded.” Full read here: tinyurl.com/hjup9ejx
