While the Milwaukee Bucks did move on from Khris Middleton eventually, Giannis Antetokounmpo helped to shoot down at least one blockbuster swap involving the three-time All-Star.

Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't involve himself in front-office decisions often but he did speak up against a trade involving Khris Middleton for Jimmy Butler years ago, former Bucks forward John Henson said.

Throughout Giannis Antetokounmpo’s career, the Bucks have done everything they can to not only keep him happy but also to help build a championship team. Each time the Bucks have felt pressure from Antetokounmpo, the team has made a big deal.
