In a recent appearance on The Rich Eisen Show, ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania gave an update on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the possibility he is trading from the Milwaukee Bucks. Charania acknowledged that the Los Angeles Lakers will likely have interest in trading for Antetokounmpo this offseason. However, Charania said it's unlikely that the Lakers will be able to match the best offers for the Bucks superstar.

"The Lakers expressed interest in Giannis Antetokounmpo at the deadline. Right now, what they'll be able to offer is three first-round picks and cap space, and essentially absorb Giannis's contract," Charania said. "Now, if you're the Bucks, are you just going to trade Giannis to the Lakers for cap space for three first-round picks? My sense is they're going to get better in the marketplace than that. I think there's a bigger appetite than that. And so, time will tell. We'll know in the next six weeks."

In order for the Lakers to create the cap space to acquire Antetokounmpo directly, they'll have to renounce most of their pending free agents. That's a group that includes LeBron James and Rui Hachimura among several others.
