Overview

• New speculative packages circulated Monday and Tuesday, including a Bleacher Report five-team concept sending Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Knicks for a massive multi-club haul.
• Sports Illustrated floated a separate scenario routing Antetokounmpo to the Raptors for Immanuel Quickley, Ochai Agbaji and four first-round picks, which analysts criticized as light on value for Milwaukee.
• A Fadeaway World proposal suggested Milwaukee target Jerami Grant from Portland using Kyle Kuzma, Andre Jackson Jr. and a 2027 first-round pick via swap to bolster the wing rotation.
• Milwaukee’s posture remains unchanged, with Stone recounting that Bucks GM Jon Horst conveyed the team would not consider moving Antetokounmpo unless he requests a trade.
• Context for the chatter includes the Bucks waiving Damian Lillard, signing Myles Turner and landing on ESPN’s Summer Forecast list of teams expected to slide, while Antetokounmpo remains under contract through 2027.
