The Milwaukee Bucks entered Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics with a 2-7 record. This is despite having Damian Lillard for all nine of those games, and Giannis Antetokounmpo for all but one. This star duo has put up solid production, averaging 57.4 points combined entering Sunday, but it has not translated to many wins.

“No rival team expects the Bucks, even amid a 2-7 start, to show any willingness to discuss Giannis Antetokounmpo trades at this early juncture of the season,” reported Stein. “It is understood quite clearly in 29 other front offices that Antetokounmpo is only ever going to be made available for trade if he pushes for it.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke on how to lead Bucks through tough stretch after another loss in New York: 'You gotta be honest with them.'
