Starting the trade machine for Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't take long, but making a deal isn't the only answer for Milwaukee.

Another early playoff exit. Another injury to a co-star. And now, another long offseason of uncomfortable questions in Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t just the face of the Bucks — he’s the face of the franchise’s identity.

Another postseason collapse by the Bucks was somewhat masked by the postgame actions of John Haliburton, Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton's father, after Tyrese got past Antetokounmpo for the game-winning layup in the clinching Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs April 29.
