The odds of a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade happening before Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET deadline appear to be dramatically decreasing with another suitor reportedly out of the mix.
Appearing on First Take, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst explained that the Minnesota Timberwolves have “moved on” from trying to acquire Antetokounmpo despite “very aggressively trying” to get a deal done with the Milwaukee Bucks:
“Minnesota, who was also very aggressively trying to get Giannis, they have moved on. About 10 minutes ago, Shams reported that they have traded four second-round picks and Rob Dillingham, a lottery pick from last year, for Ayo Dosunmu from the Bulls. He will be the guard that they’re going to put for the foreseeable future alongside Anthony Edwards. So you can tell that Minnesota and Golden State think they’re not getting Giannis today.”
Windhorst’s report came in the wake of Minnesota trading Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller and four second-round picks to the Chicago Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
