The Milwaukee Bucks are officially open for business regarding trade calls and offers for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to sources who spoke with ESPN. The news comes as the league prepares for the NBA combine and sits just over six weeks away from the upcoming NBA draft.
Antetokounmpo, a cornerstone of the Bucks organization, has spent his entire career in Milwaukee since being drafted in 2013. The star forward notably led the franchise to an NBA Championship in 2021. However, the organization now appears ready to explore its options regarding the roster's future and the availability of their franchise player.
Per ESPN, the timing of this development allows the Bucks front office to vet potential packages well in advance of the draft cycle. While no trade is currently reported as imminent, the willingness to entertain offers for a player of Antetokounmpo's caliber is expected to immediately shift the landscape of the NBA trade market.
