Overview
- ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Milwaukee stayed active over the weekend, making counteroffers to multiple teams, with the Warriors, Timberwolves, Heat and Knicks described as the most serious suitors.
- Golden State has put forward a pick‑heavy proposal and, per league reporting, is willing to consider moving anyone except Stephen Curry, while Milwaukee has not rejected the latest offer and may decide in the final 24 hours before the deadline.
- Offer structures differ by bidder, with Golden State emphasizing future draft capital, Minnesota focused on player value, and Miami presenting a mixed package, as the Bucks seek a blue‑chip young player or a surplus of first‑round picks.
- Rival executives and agents told The Athletic and ESPN they doubt a trade will happen this week, calling current proposals underwhelming and expecting a broader market and clearer valuations in the summer.
- Context factors include Antetokounmpo’s calf injury and contract option that affect leverage, reported Warriors discussions that could involve Draymond Green despite questions about his value, Giannis’ rumored reluctance about Golden State, and Cleveland joining teams that have inquired.
