According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Milwaukee Bucks have officially listed Giannis Antetokounmpo on the trade block to field offers and see the level of interest teams have in him.
Milwaukee is hoping for this to be said and done before the NBA Draft on June 23-24, as they continue to want a blue-chip player and a number of draft picks.
“Sometime over the next six or seven weeks we’ll decide whether Giannis is going to sign a max contract and stay with us or he’s going to play somewhere else,” co-owner Jimmy Haslam said Wednesday. “And Jon and Taylor, along with Wes and myself, will make that call and we understand the gravity of that call.”
Since the 2025 draft lottery, Antetokounmpo has expressed interest in ending their relationship and moving onto a different team. The 31-year-old had strong interest in the New York Knicks months ago.
Throughout the season, Antetokounmpo dealt with groin, calf, and knee injuries. This limited to him only being able to appear in 36 games.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Knicks, and Los Angeles Lakers have shown interest in trading for the two-time MVP and one-time NBA champion.
