""Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for a new home ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline, as several teams have made aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks, who are starting to listen," ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported. "Multiple teams have received a sense that the Bucks are more open than ever to Antetokounmpo offers between now and the deadline, league sources said. "Antetokounmpo has informed the Bucks for months that he believes the moment has come to part ways after 12-plus years together, making a trade increasingly possible.""
"The train was always heading in this direction. The Bucks don't have any tradable first-round picks until 2032 to salvage this unsalvagable situation. As much as I like Ryan Rollins, they don't have a great crop of young talent relative to the rest of the NBA. They will be littered in cap H-E-double hockey sticks if they plan to build a contender for as long as Damian Lillard's $22.5 million dead cap is on their books."
Giannis Antetokounmpo has informed the Milwaukee Bucks that he wants a new team after 12-plus years, and multiple teams have made aggressive offers ahead of the Feb. 5 trade deadline. League sources indicate the Bucks are increasingly receptive to those offers and are listening to trade proposals. The Bucks lack tradable first-round picks until 2032 and have limited young talent beyond Ryan Rollins. A $22.5 million dead-cap hit tied to Damian Lillard constrains cap flexibility and complicates rebuilding. A trade would allow Giannis to pursue another title while forcing a Bucks roster and organizational reset.
