In an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, Milwaukee Bucks superstar swingman Giannis Antetokounmpo offered some advice to New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis.

As we know, Davis has requested a trade from the Pelicans and will be moved in the summer. New Orleans decided not to trade AD at the February trade deadline, creating an awkward dynamic for the rest of the season.

Antetokounmpo says if he were Davis, he wouldn't talk about free agency at all and just focus on playing basketball.

“If I was Anthony Davis, and I was in his position, I would not talk about free agency,” Giannis said. “I'd focus on just playing basketball. I think he got a lot into talking and thinking about it and letting people say their opinion. Obviously, he can do whatever he wants.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a four-year, $100 million rookie extension with the Bucks in the summer of 2016. He can't become a free agent until 2021. Milwaukee will offer the superstar the supermax extension before then anyways.

Anthony Davis actually listed the Bucks as one of the teams he wouldn't mind getting traded to.

The rest of the teams in the NBA are hoping that doesn't happen, as a team with the Greek Freak and The Brow on it would be impossible to defeat.
