According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Milwaukee Bucks have not been informed by Giannis Antetokounmpo that he wants a trade. There’s a strong belief he will remain apart of the team heading into next season.

This update comes a month after reports indicated Antetokounmpo was more “open-minded” about leaving the Bucks to go to a new team like the Toronto Raptors or Brooklyn Nets.

“There’s a reason we haven’t because Giannis Antetokounmpo has gone overseas to travel with his family,” said Brian Windhorst on Get Up when asked why there haven’t been any updates. “He has made no trade request to the Bucks. He has made no trade hint to the Bucks. The Bucks are proceeding with their offseason as if Giannis is going to be with them. And there’s no significant trade talks right now.

“The plan is for Giannis Antetokounmpo to be a Buck. Now, he can change all that with a simple request, but that request hasn’t happened. And it’s no clear that request is going to happy anytime soon.”

Giannis is not set to become a free agent until 2027.

According to Toronto Star’s Doug Smith, the Toronto Raptors and Giannis Antetokounmpo both have mutual interest in having a partnership together.

With the Raptors having enough salaries to get Antetokounmpo without jeopardizing them financially, there is legit potential about a deal being struck.

Monday’s reports said Toronto had everyone available for trade, as nobody is technically safe from being shipped out. They’ve eyed Giannis for the longest of time.

Antetokounmpo’s contract doesn’t expire until 2027, which means for him to leave Milwaukee, it will need to come through a trade.

There have been rumors of Giannis and Kevin Durant interested in teaming up together in Toronto.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by Marc Stein, it’s looking like no deals for Kevin Durant will materialize until teams are given full confirmation on whether Giannis Antetokounmpo is leaving the Milwaukee Bucks or not.

There is a strong feeling that teams would rather get the younger, less injury-prone, superstar in a blockbuster deal. Per numerous reports, teams who have interest in Durant also have significant interest in Giannis.

As it came out a couple weeks ago, for the first time in his career, Antetokounmpo is becoming more open-minded to leaving his Milwaukee franchise. A bombshell all into itself.

While Milwaukee is looking to keep their franchise player, Phoenix is wanting to do the exact opposite.

ESPN’s Shams Charania says this summer’s offseason will be one of the most explosive, headline-making offseason’s in league history.
