Giannis Trade Saga Drags On, Bucks Stay Quiet—For Now

Months of Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chatter largely fizzled as the Bucks appeared uninterested in trading him, despite massive packages reportedly discussed by others.

Pacers Target Zubac and Gafford as Deadline Sparks NBA Trade Buzz

The Indiana Pacers are targeting Ivica Zubac and Daniel Gafford as starting-center options, but the Clippers are asking for a steep price to move Zubac (potentially two unprotected first-round picks plus a young player). Gafford’s three-year deal complicates any deal, though it’s unclear how motivated the Mavericks are to move him. Meanwhile, the Bucks have signaled willingness to absorb unwanted contracts in exchange for draft assets after keeping Giannis, the Lakers are exploring margin moves while preserving cap space, and the Sixers are shopping Eric Gordon’s expiring deal with several teams involved.

Lakers Could Target Giannis in Offseason Amid Bucks Trade Buzz

The Lakers reportedly lack enough assets for an in-season Giannis Antetokounmpo deal but could become a serious off-season contender if he’s still available; Milwaukee has drawn interest from the Warriors, who’d pitch a package including Draymond Green and Jonathan Kuminga plus draft capital, though the Bucks would want Green sent to a third team.

Giannis Trade Hopes for Blazers Stalled by Extension Doubts

Rumors swirl that Giannis Antetokounmpo could request a trade from Milwaukee with Portland viewed as a potential destination, but his camp has signaled no interest in an extension with the Blazers, limiting Portland’s ability to trade assets. Even with Jrue Holiday on Portland’s roster, the Blazers’ direct path to a Giannis deal looks unlikely, likely pushing any involvement to third-party facilitators. Antetokounmpo remains per-game strong (28 PPG, 10 RPG, 6 APG) as talks continue.

Cavs' cap cleanup tees up Giannis chase in a busy trade season

The Cavaliers’ three-team De’Andre Hunter trade for Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis clears cap space to just over the second apron, potentially letting them enter Giannis Antetokounmpo trade talks if they move Lonzo Ball’s $10M contract. Several blockbuster Cavs-for-Giannis scenarios have been floated (Garland/Allen with picks, Mobley/Strus with picks), but whether Milwaukee would bite and how cap rules would play out remain uncertain as the Feb. 5 deadline approaches.

Giannis Trade Saga: Bucks Likely to Wait for Offseason as Lakers, Sixers, Raptors Monitor

The Bucks are reportedly open to trading Giannis Antetokounmpo but don’t plan to rush a deal, likely waiting until the offseason to maximize value. Teams like the Knicks and Heat could present stronger packages then, aided by draft assets; Giannis’ calf injury adds timing considerations. The Lakers have been floated as a potential destination but may lack enough assets until summer, while the Sixers show little sign of bidding and the Raptors would probably require Scottie Barnes. Some reports suggest any deal could hinge on a four-year, roughly $275 million extension starting in 2027, complicating decisions for all sides.

Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly ready for a new home as the Bucks listen to aggressive trade offers ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, seeking blue-chip young talent and multiple draft picks. While Giannis hasn’t publicly demanded a trade, he’s had honest conversations with Milwaukee about his future, and teams including the Knicks, Heat, Warriors and Raptors are in pursuit. Milwaukee could push for a deal now or wait until the off-season to maximize value, especially with an 18-27 record and Giannis’ calf injury weighing the equation; the Bucks may also consider rebuilding assets or leveraging favorable Pelicans picks in potential multi-team deals.
