The Milwaukee Bucks' early exit from the NBA playoffs has heightened anticipation surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo's potential departure.
Teams across the NBA are now closely watching Antetokounmpo's situation, considering a possible pursuit of the former MVP.
The Brooklyn Nets, among others, have already begun preparations for a possible trade or free agency acquisition by accumulating draft capital and cap space.
The Bucks' disappointing performance has significantly increased the probability of Antetokounmpo becoming available.
For the Milwaukee Bucks, the playoffs are over.
For the rest of the NBA, the Giannis Antetokounmpo Watch begins.
And while for the Nets it started in 2023 — GM Sean Marks collecting draft capital and cap space for a possible pursuit — they will have tons of competition if and when the former MVP becomes available.
The rest of the league saw the tantalizing possibility become that much likelier after another early exit by the Bucks on Tuesday.
