US EditionSports Analyst Reveals Why Bulls Are ‘Not Interested’ in Giannis Antetokounmpo Blockbuster Deal
The Chicago Bulls declined trade talks with Giannis Antetokounmpo's camp to protect their young core and avoid luxury tax issues, despite his interest, sources said.
- During Tuesday's Chicago Sports Tonight, Lou Canellis, Fox 32 Chicago reporter, said Giannis Antetokounmpo and his representatives contacted the Chicago Bulls but the front office declined trade talks.
- Protecting the young core motivated the Bulls' stance as Arturas Karnisovas, Bulls executive, and Marc Eversley, Chicago Bulls general manager, preferred to avoid breaking up developing players like Matas Buzelis, Coby White and Josh Giddey.
- Financially, the move posed problems for Chicago as Giannis Antetokounmpo has three years left and a 54 million salary this season, and analysts warned about luxury tax implications a few months ago.
- The claim intensified attention on the wider Bucks-Antetokounmpo story as a Thursday Getty report created waves across the Midwest and Canellis's comments sparked debate on Chicago sports radio.
- Nationally, reports show Giannis Antetokounmpo asked for a trade and Milwaukee Bucks contacted the New York Knicks, while rival executives track his social-media signals as the trade deadline approaches.
