A) Shams never said he talked to Giannis' agent or anyone in his camp. His sources were within the league.

B) The meeting did occur, but the interpretation that it’s about him leaving isn’t correct, or the framing that it's some shocking development

Why? The only unusual part of this is that it became public. As the source said, this is a standard meeting that the two sides have.

This is not him going to the team to ask for a trade. If anything, in my eyes, this is pressure on the FO to make a deal (not reporting, just IMO)

From Jim in his story: “and a league source told the Journal Sentinel the parties speak often in-season as well, and this is no different except for the fact it is now public.”

This type of conversation is a regular occurrence, not something new.
