Philadelphia 76ers have not initiated contact with Milwaukee Bucks regarding a potential Giannis Antetokounmpo trade, despite the team's interest in making a move for the two-time NBA MVP. According to reports, however, the prospect of pairing up with Tyrese Maxey has caught the attention of the 76ers, who now find themselves on Antetokounmpo's radar.
At the heart of this new development is the prospect of forming an All-Star duo between Maxey and Antetokounmpo. The two players share a connection in their training regimens, with both being associated with prominent NBA trainer Drew Hanlen. This shared affiliation has piqued the interest of 76ers front office officials, who are now exploring possibilities for a blockbuster trade.
However, any potential deal would come with significant hurdles. The 76ers would need to part ways with at least one of Joel Embiid, Paul George, or Tyrese Maxey in order to make the financials work. Given their substantial long-term contracts, both Embiid and George are likely to be a difficult sell for Milwaukee.
The prospect of acquiring either player as part of a package deal would also require significant concessions from the Bucks. The only way they might consider such a move is if Philadelphia were willing to throw in a prized asset, such as rookie guard VJ Edgecombe.
While it's unclear whether this interest will ultimately lead to a trade, the fact that Maxey has caught Antetokounmpo's eye is undeniably newsworthy. As one of the most exciting young players in the league, Maxey's ascent has made him an attractive prospect for rival franchises seeking to bolster their rosters.

, can u believe Giannis & Tyrese could be a thing? 
They're already trainin' together and stuff 
, it feels like they'd make an awesome duo 
! But, omg the financials would be crazy complicated 
... Philly needs to think carefully about tradin' away Embiid or George 
. VJ Edgecombe might just be the prize that convinces Giannis to make a move 
, but we'll have to wait and see 
!
, but come on, can't they just play with Giannis already? 
It's like, I get it, pairing him up is a great idea, but what about all the drama that comes with it? 
They need to make some serious concessions on the Bucks' side and figure out who they're willing to let go of. And what's up with the 76ers thinking VJ Edgecombe is worth that much 
. And can we please talk about the lack of news from the Bucks? No contact with Philly? That's just a big fat no-go 
! The thought of him teaming up with Giannis is giving me major NBA dreams 
. I know it's gonna be tough for Philly to make a move without parting ways with some big names, but if they can pull off a blockbuster trade, it could be HUGE 
. VJ Edgecombe as the sweetener might just do the trick 
. One thing's for sure, this is making the NBA season even more exciting 
!
. But at the same time, this trade talk is getting intense... like, would Philly really part with Embiid or George? That's some heavy sauce 
.
. Can you imagine the chemistry they'd have on and off the court? And the fact that they're both working out with Drew Hanlen is just the cherry on top 
. But, let's be real, this trade would require some serious sacrifices from Philly 
. On the other hand, adding VJ Edgecombe to the mix could sweeten the deal for Milwaukee 
.
and i'm all for it, as long as they don't forget to bring the funny 
. Tyrese Maxey is literally a game-changer on the court and pairing him with Giannis would be insane 
. The Bucks are gonna have to do some serious selling if they wanna get rid of Embiid or George, tho 
those guys are huge assets for any team. I think Philly has to throw in some other talent like VJ Edgecombe to sweeten the deal
