It could wind up being a very tough offseason for the Milwaukee Bucks.
Giannis Antetokounmpo is heavily involved in trade rumors, with no obvious end in sight.
But beyond Giannis, the Bucks are looking at losing another former All-Star.
Center Brook Lopez is a free agent, and Milwaukee isn't expected to bring him back, according to Hardwood Paroxysm.
“That said, I’m not expecting the roster to look the way it does now," the report states. "The team is likely to retain Kevin Porter Jr. and most everyone I’ve spoken to assume Brook Lopez is gone. Lopez might be one of the bigger names on the market.”

At 37 years old, Lopez is one of the most unique players in the modern NBA.
He's 7-foot-1 and is coming off a season in which he averaged 13.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game while also shooting 37.3% from 3-point land on strong volume.
It's not obvious how many more years Lopez has left in him, but he also hasn't appeared to decline over the past couple seasons, either.
A team that could use some rim protection and floor spacing can get it all in one with Lopez.
If he leaves the Bucks, and Antetokounmpo and/or Bobby Portis do, too, the frontcourt in Milwaukee is going to look vastly different.
