Overview

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo has not formally requested a trade but is open to exploring options outside Milwaukee following three consecutive first-round playoff exits.
  • The Milwaukee Bucks have scheduled a key offseason meeting with Antetokounmpo to determine the direction of the franchise and his future with the team.
  • The San Antonio Spurs are widely considered the frontrunners for a potential trade, with their cap flexibility, draft assets, and young talent making them an appealing partner for the Bucks.
  • Other teams like the Warriors, Lakers, and Cavaliers are exploring trade scenarios but face significant challenges related to salary-cap constraints and asset limitations.
  • The Bucks’ limited draft capital and recent roster struggles, including Damian Lillard’s Achilles injury, complicate their ability to rebuild or retain Antetokounmpo long-term.
