There are going to be plenty of storylines leading into Thursday’s 3 p.m. trade deadline, both for the Nets and the NBA. The biggest involving both is going to be Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The two-time MVP is not only the best player quasi-available at this year’s deadline, he just might be the best to move at any deadline. But league sources told The Post that — despite initial reports to the contrary — the Nets haven’t called the Bucks about Antetokounmpo.

No Greek Freak?

For years, Nets general manager Sean Marks assiduously collected and hoarded draft assets just in case Antetokounmpo ever decided he wanted to leave Milwaukee and was made available. After years of waiting, the Nets finally committed to rebuilding before last season, and now the two-time MVP finally is considering bolting the Bucks.
