REPORT: Giannis Antetokounmpo had interest in Chicago Bulls
The big NBA news right now centers on Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and the reports that he wants to be traded this season. With Antetokounmpo getting hurt, he has put a little wrench into things for now.
As teams potentially inquire about landing Antetokounmpo in a trade, one report out of Chicago suggests that the star potentially wanted to come to Chicago at one point.
FOX Chicago’s Lou Canellis, put out a bombshell on Thursday that has Bulls fans likely shaking their heads. Canellis is very plugged into the Chicago Sports scene and, while not a reporter, maintains a relationship with Antetokounmpo.
Lou Canellis says Giannis Antetokounmpo had interest in Chicago Bulls
Canellis appeared on 670 The Score’s Mully & Haugh show Thursday morning to discuss Antetokounmpo. It was there that he reported Antetokounmpo reached out to the Bulls about a potential deal. The snag? The Bulls weren’t interested.
“Giannis and his representatives reached out to the Bulls about a potential deal, and the Bulls said they weren’t interested. They were not interested in breaking up their young core or changing their course of direction.”
WHAT.
Look, Canellis will probably admit he’s not an insider but we did mention he has connections in the city. IF this is true, it makes no sense from the Bulls’ side of things.
The other thing to note is that this isn’t the first time reporters have said the Bulls don’t want to break up their core. There was a report that they wouldn’t do that with Anthony Davis, either. But Giannis? That feels like a no-brainer to go all in and get a superstar.
Giannis is on a three-year deal worth $175M. He will earn $54M this season, $58M next season, and $62M next season. So the salary hits are tough. But for a franchise that is struggling in another rebuild, you almost have to take that chance.
The ship appears to have sailed now for the Bulls. But the rest of the NBA are in wait and see mode.
