Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo trade lands Duke star Cooper Flagg and more

There aren't many scenarios where it makes sense for the Milwaukee Bucks to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo, arguably the best player in the NBA, isn't just a superstar in the NBA. He completely revived this franchise and gave them their first ring in 50 years. 

From Milwaukee's perspective, it would have to be blown away to even consider a deal for the 30-year-old. 

Despite that reality, a proposed trade idea from Fade Away World would move on from the two-time MVP for the No. 1 pick with the Dallas Mavericks. The trade would also send Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington to Milwaukee. 

“For the Bucks, acquiring Cooper Flagg, the projected top pick, offers a promising future. Flagg's versatility and potential make him an ideal cornerstone for a rebuilding team. Adding veterans like Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington provides Milwaukee with experienced players who can contribute immediately. This trade allows the Bucks to reset while still remaining competitive in the Eastern Conference,” they wrote.

While Cooper Flagg would be a great addition, and he seems to have superstar potential, the Bucks would likely be looking for multiple more picks in this type of deal. 

If past trades have given any indication, the Bucks could be looking at seven-plus first-round picks. Even if that number changed to five, including the No. 1 pick, it still doesn't feel like a lot to give up for a player who can dominate any game he plays and has proven that throughout his career.

There isn't a fair trade to make for Antetokounmpo, meaning that unless the Bucks get a request from him that he wants out, keeping him around has to be the plan.
