Bucks Tell Rivals Giannis Is Off-Limits as Knicks Prioritize Continuity

Executives view a midseason blockbuster as unlikely given timing, cost, chemistry concerns.

Overview

  • NBA reporter Mike Scotto says Milwaukee’s front office has told interested teams that Giannis Antetokounmpo is not available.
  • New York is described by The Athletic’s Sam Amick as fully invested in its current core, reducing the likelihood of a Knicks push right now.
  • Coverage indicates Milwaukee is pursuing roster upgrades rather than entertaining offers for its franchise star.
  • League voices note that trades of this magnitude are typically easier in the offseason due to asset demands and compressed deadline negotiations.
  • After returning from a calf injury, Antetokounmpo urged reporters to stop questioning his commitment to the Bucks.
