Giannis Antetokounmpo accelerates Bucks trade possibility after his Knicks interest
NY Post
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s days in Milwaukee may be numbered.
The Bucks star and his agent, Alex Saratsis, have begun talking with the team about his future with the franchise and “discussing whether his best fit is staying or a move elsewhere,” according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Charania added that “a resolution is expected in the coming weeks.”
The report suggests that Antetokounmpo, who has played his entire NBA career with the Bucks, is seriously considering leaving Milwaukee after years of trade rumors around the two-time MVP.
One source told Charania that “‘the writing is on the wall’ on the inevitable outcome for Antetokounmpo unless there is a dramatic turn of events in the Bucks’ season,” which has gone off the rails in recent weeks.
The NBA’s trade deadline is on Feb. 5, 2026, giving Antetokounmpo and the Bucks almost exactly two months to figure out a resolution.

The deal that brought Aidan Thompson to the Rangers didn’t create the ripple effects that the Artemi Panarin trade did because of who departed the organization. That was only Derrick Pouliot, a 32-year-old defenseman more than two years removed from his last NHL game. It didn’t create the waves like one for, say, Vincent Trocheck, would have because of current NHL players or draft capital the Blueshirts received in return, either.
