"It's been reported by several sources that the Milwaukee Bucks are finally open to fielding offers for the former two-time MVP. Though it's not guaranteed Antetokounmpo is traded by Thursday (could be pushed to the offseason if no team meets the Bucks asking price), it is still a very high possibility. Delaying such a move would have contract extension implications on Antetokounmpo and only make his Bucks situation this season more awkward."
"As ESPN's Shams Charania reported, the four aggressive suitors for his services are the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks. Charania also reported that Milwaukee is seeking "blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks" in return here. The Wolves and Knicks have little-to-no young talent and draft picks whatsoever, and would need to get very creative with potential multi-team deals to get something done. As for Miami, they have the assets to meet those demands."
"Miami Herald's Barry Jackson reported earlier on Monday some potential framework the Heat are willing to offer in a package for Antetokounmpo. Miami's Giannis offer, per Barry Jackson: Tyler Herro Kel'el Ware Terry Rozier's expiring contract Another young player or more 2030 First-Round draft pick 2032 First-Round draft pick Possibly pick-swaps in 2026, 2029 and 2031 In regards to "another young player or more" that Jackson stated, that could include any or all of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, Nikola Jovic and Pelle Larsson."
Milwaukee Bucks are open to fielding offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and a trade before the February 5, 2026 deadline is a high possibility. A delayed move could complicate contract-extension timing and make Antetokounmpo's current season more awkward. Four primary suitors are the Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves and New York Knicks. Milwaukee seeks blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks in return. The Wolves and Knicks lack young assets and picks, while Miami has the assets to meet those demands. A Heat package under consideration includes Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Terry Rozier's expiring contract, multiple future first-round picks, and additional young players.
