Milwaukee's persuasion campaign to keep Yannis Antocompo is also reflected in the market trades.
According to De Ringer, the Bucks, who want to ensure the stay of the MVP concluding a contract in 2021, have begun talks in recent days with Indiana about the possibility of transferring Victor Oladipo to their ranks.
According to Kevin O'Connor, "The Bucks are seriously considering the possibility of bringing in Oladipo, but at the moment such a trade does not seem particularly likely."
The attempt to land another Allstar in the team stems, among other things, from the criticism of the Greek freak's assisting team, which is full of good players but only one star, about whom opinions are also divided (Chris Middleton).
But while the Bucks are working to convince Yannis that they are building a team around him that can compete for a championship, the United States is confident he is already considering his next steps.
According to Bill Simmons, "Yannis intends to leave Milwaukee next summer, or at least leave that option on the table. Kevin Durant tore his Achilles and still got a maximum contract in Brooklyn, so Yannis realizes he can get his own maximum contract wherever he wants, whether it is. In Miami or Dallas. "
The possibility of teaming up with Luka Doncic and perhaps even Kristaps Forzingis and creating a lethal European trio in the Mavericks, seems very appealing.
"Instead of Yannis, I was going to play with Luca," Simmons said.
"Luca is the next thing in the league, there's no question here. In Yannis' place, I'm going to Dallas. He understands that if he does that he could win several championships, not just one."

Houston is set to appoint Stephen Silas, the former Dallas assistant coach, to replace Mike D'Antoni, who left after his contract expired and was not renewed at the end of last season, when the Rockets again disappointed in the playoffs and failed to qualify for the regional finals.
Silas and the Rockets are expected to announce the appointment soon, after all details of the deal are closed.
Dallas owner Mark Cuban has already congratulated Silas on the appointment.
Silas, 46, has been an assistant coach in the league for 20 years, and has worked under Rick Carlisle and Steve Clifford among others, and over the years has developed several guards and made them better and more valued, like Luca Doncic, Stefan Kerry and Kamba Walker - and of course the Brooks hope to do work Also successful with James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
He is the son of Paul Silas, a former player and coach, and even worked with him at Charlotte.
Now the Rockets will try to put alongside the rookie coach veteran and skilled assistants, hoping to bring along Nate McMillan or Jeff Hornesk.
According to reports in the United States, Houston chose him largely because of his offensive expertise, and after warm recommendations from Westbrook and Harden.
Highly recommend the new coach.

The corona crisis has had a dramatic impact: NBA revenues in the 2019/20 season fell 10 percent to $ 8.3 billion.
The numbers show a $ 800 million drop in ticket sales losses, and another $ 400 million on a drop in merchandise sales and a loss of sponsors.
This season also includes $ 200 million in losses due to a "negative economic impact" from the long-running crisis with China at the start of the season, following Daryl Murray's famous tweet that supported Hong Kong protesters against the Chinese government - creating a rift between the league and the Chinese market.
Only towards the end of the season did China return to broadcast NBA games.
However, the team owners know that they came out with negligible losses compared to what could have happened: The return of the league and the establishment of the "bubble" in Orlando prevented losses of $ 1.5 billion that would have been lost if the season had been stopped and not renewed.
However, spending on the bubble was $ 190 million - 10 million more than expected.
Against the background of the losses, the league management and the players' organization began talks in order to reach agreements regarding salary cuts and salary ceilings - with NBA leaders knowing full well that next season there will be losses, as long as there is no crowd entry and there is a decline in buying products and sponsorships.
