Shams Charania Claps Back at Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo Amid Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

We have a lot of offseason left.

Brian Windhorst drops the hammer on any potential trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo in the near future as he claims Kevin Durant to Knicks move will be "messy".
