NBA insider Shams Charania's tweet on Wednesday heated up trade speculations surrounding Giannis Antetokounmpo. Charania tweeted that Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are discussing their future together.

There was a bit of a scare on Bucks Twitter Tuesday morning. Giannis Antetokounmpo has seemingly removed all references to the team from his Instagram. He is now simply listed as "athlete." Fears were somewhat allayed when fans realized he more or less wiped his entire account.
