Giannis Ignites Trade Rumors After Social Media Scrub of Bucks Posts

Antetokounmpo deleted Bucks-related posts amid trade rumors linked to the team's poor 9-13 start and his $54 million salary, with a key trade deadline approaching.

  • On Tuesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo deleted all social posts from 2021 on X and Instagram, leaving only a Kobe Bryant image on his X account.
  • Milwaukee, currently 9-13 and 11th in the East, faces the Feb. 5 trade deadline as Antetokounmpo earns $54 million this season and $58 million for 2026-27 under a $186 million extension.
  • Eagle-Eyed Bucks fans noticed Antetokounmpo changed his X bio to 'NBA Athlete' and purged posts after a Monday loss where he scored 26 points and seven rebounds against the Washington Wizards.
  • The purge has intensified speculation that Giannis Antetokounmpo could leave Milwaukee, with observers asking which teams could afford him and naming the Atlanta Hawks and OKC Thunder as potential suitors while Milwaukee Bucks executives demand multiple picks.
  • Since the 2022 championship, the Milwaukee Bucks have suffered three straight first-round playoff exits and traded eight key picks including first-round picks in 2025 and 2027, limiting rebuild options.
