ESPN: Antetokounmpo did not request a trade to the Bucks, and both sides wanted to work together to build a championship-level team

According to ESPN reporter Sean Wright, Antetokounmpo did not make a trade request during his meeting with the Bucks, and both sides expressed their urgent willingness to build a championship-level team.

Sean Wright said: "Antetokounmpo once again showed trust and patience to the team that gave him the opportunity 12 years ago. The Bucks are expected to be extremely active in the trading market and free agent market. Despite their limited assets, they will still explore all ways to upgrade their lineup."

Previously, reporter Gery Woelfel revealed that although the Bucks did not have a first-round pick in this year's draft, the team still plans to invite some rookies who are expected to be the top eight picks to try out. He wrote at the time: "Many sources told me that the Bucks are preparing for Antetokounmpo's potential departure."

During the regular season this season, Antetokounmpo averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks per game.
