According to Shams Charania of ESPN, two-time NBA 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.

"Multiple teams have received a sense that the Bucks are more open than ever to Antetokounmpo offers between now and the deadline," Charania reports.

"However, Milwaukee has indicated to interested teams that the organization is not in a rush to complete a move and is willing to navigate Antetokounmpo's future in the offseason if its believed price point of a blue-chip young talent and/or a surplus of draft picks isn't met, sources said."

"By waiting until the summer, the Bucks could also see which teams are able to offer more appealing draft picks in June," he adds.

Giannis and the Bucks have endured a roller-coaster 2025-26 season. With an 18–26 record and sitting in 11th place in the Eastern Conference, their nine consecutive playoff appearances are in serious jeopardy.

To make matters worse, the Bucks could struggle even more after Antetokounmpo announced that he will be out four to six weeks due to his calf injury.

Giannis has spent his entire 13-year career so far with the Bucks and is currently averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game this season.
