Multiple league personnel that have spoken with The Post say Giannis Antetokounmpo has been and remains Plan A for the Nets. 

If Antetokounmpo gets traded elsewhere this summer, that may make GM Sean Marks’ path simple, tanking for another year and building through the lottery. 

But what happens if the two-time MVP is in Milwaukee past the June draft, when Marks usually makes his biggest moves? Are potential lesser targets like Ja Morant, Domantas Sabonis, Trae Young or LaMelo Ball worth emptying the proverbial clip for if it means abandoning all hope for the Greek Freak?

Do the Nets move valuable veterans that might’ve been used in an Antetokounmpo bid, hoarding more picks for the rebuild? Or keep them in hopes of bidding on him next season, but end up with wins that damage a potential 2026 lottery pick?
