If the Milwaukee Bucks are indeed set to lose Giannis Antetokounmpo this summer, you can be sure that they will require a major haul in a potential landscape-shifting blockbuster trade. The Bucks will want to remain competitive in the Eastern Conference, and they will only be able to do that if they get a superstar in return in a swap deal.

Milwaukee Bucks Trade Rumors: Giannis to Clippers in Exchange for Paul George

At this point, there are no rumors linking Giannis to the Los Angeles Clippers. However, if Antetokounmpo suddenly becomes available on the trade market, you can be sure that teams from around the league will be scrambling to make their bid for the former back-to-back MVP.
Eddie Bitar of Fadeaway World has conjured up an eye-catching trade scenario wherein the Bucks and the Clippers trade superstars.
Bucks get: Paul George (sign-and-trade), Terance Mann, 2031 First-Round Pick, 2030 Second-Round Pick
Paul George is no Giannis, but he’s a bona fide NBA superstar. Alongside Damian Lillard, the Bucks will absolutely be a force to be reckoned with in the East:
“The Bucks will take George and place him alongside Lillard, Middleton, and Bobby Portis to keep them competitive in the East. The first-round pick and the presence of Mann would make the team better on both ends of the court when he comes in. Still, it is obvious that the Clippers will absolutely win this trade,” Bitar wrote.

As Bitar wrote, however, the Clippers will have much more to gain in this deal than Milwaukee. Giannis paired up with Kawhi Leonard is going to be pretty unstoppable. The only thing that can prevent this superstar duo from making LA a real title contender is their health. So long as they stay away from injuries, however, it’s hard not to see this squad as one of the favorites to go all the way next season.

Magic Johnson Explicitly Says Who Lakers Should Hire As Next Coach
Magic Johnson Explicitly Says Who Lakers Should Hire As Next Coach
The Los Angeles Lakers are in the midst of a search for their next head coach. At the moment, two people appear to be the frontrunners: Dan Hurley and J.J. Redick.
Hurley, a back-to-back champion with UConn, has been described as L.A.’s top choice at the moment. That said, Redick has been the name most closely associated with the job for weeks.
This week, Lakers legend Magic Johnson weighed in on the topic. He didn’t mince words when it came to who he would like to see take over for Darvin Ham.
“I heard the great news that Lakers Owner Jeanie Buss and GM/VP of Basketball Operations Rob Pelinka have had conversations with back-to-back NCAA champion and current UConn Head Coach, Dan Hurley, about becoming the next Lakers Head Coach,” he wrote on social media.
“I’m so excited and thrilled! This would be a game changer for the Lakers organization, LeBron, AD, the rest of the Laker players, Laker Nation and the NBA! Coach Hurley can coach his butt off.”
Johnson’s campaign for Hurley didn’t stop there, though. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show, the Lakers legend once again argued for Hurley.
“I want the coach to be Hurley,” Johnson explicitly stated.
“If we sign him I think it works for both. It works for Coach Hurley… He’s great with offense and defensive strategy, and he’s tough…”
It is easy to see why Johnson likes Hurley. The latter’s strategy for Bronny James and L.A.’s young players could be a game-changer.
The question now is simply whether Hurley’s wife will sign off on the move.
Will the Lakers’ front office heed Johnson’s advice and sign Hurley to a long-term deal? An answer one way or the other is coming soon enough.

0MG! Malika Andrews’ Outfit To NBA Finals Causes A Stir
Malika Andrews’ Outfit To NBA Finals Causes A Stir
Malika Andrews was on hand Thursday to serve as the primary host for ESPN’s coverage of the 2024 NBA Finals.
Over the past few months Andrews has gone viral on multiple occasions. Between her handsy encounter with Jalen Rose, her ‘inappropriate’ encounter with LeBron James and her controversial reaction to the Josh Giddey scandal, she has repeatedly trended for one reason or another.
This week it happened again.
Fans at home couldn’t stop raving over Andrews’ outfit to the NBA Finals and how good she looked in it.
“That suit Malika got on is elite,” one fan wrote.
“The outfits ate as usual,” another person agreed.
“Beautiful,” a third fan chimed in.
Andrews is something of a polarizing figure. Sometimes she earns a positive reception from fans; other times a negative one.
Either way, though – she is clearly one of the preeminent sports media personalities around.
And with the NBA Finals in full swing, she isn’t going anywhere any time soon.
What will Andrews ultimately go viral for next? Time will tell.
