The Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to find another elite player to pair with superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, and they are expected to shop point guard Eric Bledsoe in an effort to do just that.

Such a statement from Pierce sounds ludicrous, as the Bucks finished with the best record in the National Basketball Association powered by Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Defensive Player of the Year and presumptive MVP.

"It's not happening. That's not happening", Antetokounmpo told Yahoo Sports's Chris Haynes when asked if he'd request a trade in the event he did not sign a supermax extension with the team.

"If winning a championship was easy, everyone would have one", Antetokounmpo added.

Giannis Antetokounmpo said he wouldn't force a trade from the Bucks. I plow through it. We lost. Everyone saw that we lost.

"I think every round, every game that we go into, there may be a different scouting report, a different scheme that goes into it", Jimmy Butler said, via Shandel Richardson of Sports Illustrated. "That's what we're going to continue to do".

An Antetokounmpo super-max contract with the Bucks could be worth approximately $220 million - roughly $80 million more than he could get from another team as a free agent in 2021.

"I tried to get ready for the game", he explained after Game 5, "They told me that the right decision was not to play the game".

What is the reason the Bucks failed to get to the NBA Finals, despite having the NBA's best record the last two seasons?
