However, prior to that, the Bucks had an interest in trading for another star in the form of Jimmy Butler. That deal would’ve involved Middleton, but according to former Bucks fan favorite John Henson, Giannis Antetokounmpo shut down those trade talks.

Chris Haynes added Tuesday that Antetokounmpo was unhappy with Milwaukee's decision.
