Overview

  • ESPN reported that Antetokounmpo is weighing whether to remain in Milwaukee or pursue a new team after 12 seasons.
  • Doug Smith of the Toronto Star said there is mutual interest between Antetokounmpo and the Raptors, though the cost of acquiring him is expected to be steep.
  • Brian Windhorst noted the Raptors are targeting a “big fish” in this off-season, with league insiders pointing to Giannis as their prime pursuit.
  • The Bucks’ championship window has closed for now, with their early playoff exit and Lillard’s torn Achilles undermining next season’s contention hopes.
  • Other franchises, including the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors, are also believed to be in the mix for the two-time NBA MVP.
