The Brooklyn Nets have their eyes set on trading for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo over the likes of De'Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler.

NBA trade deadline is approaching fast, and the Brooklyn Nets could become active over the next week. Yet, the Nets haven’t been mentioned in any of the biggest NBA trade rumors, like the ones involving Jimmy Butler and/or De’Aaron Fox.

Through conversations with Kings officials in recent weeks, Houston Rockets officials were aware of the increasing likelihood of a potential De'Aaron Fox trade away from Sacramento, especially as the prospect of the 27-year-old guard signing a long-term extension with the Kings became less and less plausible.

With Jimmy Butler serving his Heat suspension, there is an expectation to when he returns Monday.
