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.

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.
