"Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is ready for a new home at the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline or in the offseason as several rival teams make aggressive offers to the Milwaukee Bucks for him, and the franchise is starting to listen, league sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/OejatbQjDy- Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) January 28, 2026 Now we could spend all day dissecting and questioning the wording of Charania's report, which when it comes to Antetokounmpo always seem intentionally vague. But instead, we have a far more meaningful question to dissect: Should the Raptors be one of those 'rival teams' calling the Milwaukee Bucks?"
"In Charania's report, he says that the Bucks organization is not "in a rush to complete a move... if it's believed price point of a blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks isn't met..." That's fair. Antetokounmpo isn't like the other flawed talent (re: Sabonis, Morant, Davis) that's been on the market. He's a bonafide superstar, he's just turned 31 years old, and he's proven his ability to win at the highest level."
Giannis Antetokounmpo is prepared to leave the Milwaukee Bucks at the Feb. 5 trade deadline or in the offseason as rival teams prepare aggressive offers. The Bucks are willing to listen but are not rushing a deal and expect a substantial return, potentially a blue-chip young talent and/or multiple draft picks. Antetokounmpo is a two-time MVP, 31 years old, and a proven champion who dominates both offensively and defensively. With the Eastern Conference open, multiple teams, including the Toronto Raptors, could pursue him, and the Bucks can demand a king's ransom.
