NBA Trade Rumors: Bucks Have 'Unrealistic' Asking Price for Giannis Antetokounmpo
Milwaukee is unwilling to take Jaylen Brown straight up, and Boston is weighing other trade packages as the 31-year-old star draws interest from Miami.
The Milwaukee Bucks have rejected the Boston Celtics' proposal to swap Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo, unwilling to accept Brown as a straight-up return for the two-time MVP.
Milwaukee General Manager Jon Horst has established ambitious asking prices that rival executives described as "unrealistic," seeking a massive return for the 31-year-old Antetokounmpo with just one guaranteed year left.
Celtics President of Basketball Operations Brad Stevens is playing a cautious game, signaling Boston is not actively shopping Brown while exploring ways to add Antetokounmpo without upsetting the 29-year-old All-NBA wingman.
Unlike the Celtics, the Miami Heat has been devoted to acquiring Antetokounmpo since February; The Athletic's Sam Amick wrote that Boston's position is "perhaps greatly weaker than Miami's."
With the 2026 NBA Draft less than a week away, trade rumors are heating up, as Antetokounmpo is expected to be dealt this summer amid what feels like "now or never" for Milwaukee.
