Giannis, Agent Weigh Bucks Future as League Sizes Up Trade Scenarios

No trade request has been made, with the two-time MVP currently sidelined by a calf strain.

Overview

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo and agent Alex Saratsis have begun conversations with Milwaukee about whether his best fit is to stay or explore a move, according to multiple reports.
  • Antetokounmpo told Chris Haynes he wants to “run through the wall, and make things work,” and he explained his recent social-media purge as a broader image reset done weeks ago.
  • He is expected to miss roughly two to four weeks with a right calf strain sustained this week.
  • Front offices have held internal meetings to evaluate potential offers, with the Knicks repeatedly identified in reporting as his preferred destination outside Milwaukee and prior talks said to have come close last summer.
  • Executives are valuing aging, high-salary stars more cautiously, shaping expectations for any potential return and reinforcing that timing over the coming weeks could be pivotal.
