Giannis 'Ready for New Home' Ahead of Trade Deadline, ESPN Report Says

  • On Wednesday, ESPN reported that Giannis Antetokounmpo agreed the time is right for a trade and hopes it will happen by the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline as multiple teams sense the Bucks are more open than ever to offers.
  • Amid Milwaukee Bucks' team struggles, Giannis Antetokounmpo is frustrated by three straight first-round playoff exits and a right calf injury that keeps him out at least through February.
  • Preferring young players and draft capital, Milwaukee Bucks want young, blue‑chip talent and surplus of draft picks and may wait until the offseason or after the Draft Lottery, sources said.
  • Reports name the New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat as top suitors, but the Knicks face hard-cap restrictions while the Heat hold tradable picks and young players, making deals complex, ESPN reported.
  • Waiting until after the Draft Lottery in May, the Milwaukee Bucks could delay a decisive move, reshaping their franchise trajectory and the Eastern Conference's competitive landscape if no Feb. 5 deal materializes.
