"The Milwaukee Bucks are open for business on trade calls and offers for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo entering the NBA combine and over six weeks away from the draft, sources told ESPN. (via Shams Charania)"
"The Bucks gauged the market on Antetokounmpo at that deadline, which included engaging with the Miami Heat on a potential deal. Ultimately, they decided to hold off for a little bit longer and hope to get a better haul once team's were able to trade more draft capital. Fast forward to today and now Milwaukee is officially fielding calls and offers for the second time within the past three months, according to ESPN's Shams Charania:"
"The Heat have target Antetokounmpo as their next whale for years now, dating even all the way back six years ago to 2020. They got significantly close to pulling it off at the deadline, and now they will have one more chance. For several Heat targets over the years, even including the last superstar acquisition in Jimmy Butler in 2019, Pat Riley and the front office have repeatedly circled back on names that they once swung and miss on. Another attempt at Giannis will be no different."
""They're going to do their best to work with Giannis over the next several weeks. There's going to be a bunch of teams. Miami, Golden State, Lakers, Timberwolves, Cavs... we'll see over the next 6 weeks."- Shams on a Giannis trade (h/t @HeatCulture13) pic.twitter.com/Vs5xlSgrgL- Hot Hot Hoops (@hothothoops) May 11, 2026"
Milwaukee is again fielding trade calls and offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo as the NBA combine approaches and the draft nears. The Bucks previously gauged the market at the February trade deadline, including discussions with the Miami Heat, but chose to wait for a better return once more draft capital became available. Miami has long targeted Antetokounmpo and came close at the deadline, making it a likely destination. Other teams are also expected to engage over the following weeks, including Golden State, the Lakers, the Timberwolves, and the Cavaliers. A major Antetokounmpo trade could occur as early as June’s NBA Draft.
