As the basketball world awaits Giannis Antetokounmpo’s decision, speculation about his next team, if he demands a trade, centers on the usual suspects.

But as the reality of a possible Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sets in, the Milwaukee Bucks face a far grimmer future than most teams giving away All-NBA players. They don't have a particularly easy path to a quick rebuild.

The Celtics are pretty restricted in how they can acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo because they’re above the second luxury tax apron. NBA rules prohibit them from aggregating salaries in a trade for a player with a larger salary. They also prevent the Celtics from taking in more salary than the salary that they’re giving out in any trade.
