The Hawks would emerge as one of the favorites to win the East by acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks in this proposed mock trade.

All eyes in the NBA remain on Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has yet to decide if his future lies with the Milwaukee Bucks or elsewhere. The two-time MVP and 2021 champion is once again at the center of the team's offseason drama as he continues to weigh whether the Bucks are still the right fit for his championship aspirations.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday on “Get Up” that Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the midst of “very real conversations over the last week or so,” and that there is “nothing set in stone” about whether he’ll stay with the Bucks or leave Milwaukee this offseason.
