US EditionSenior Insider Drops Bombshell on NBA Trade Talks Freeze as Giannis Antetokounmpo's Future in Milwaukee Sparks Chaos
The Bucks reject trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo as they seek roster improvements amid a 3-game losing streak and 3-11 record without him, sources say.
- With three weeks until the February 5 trade deadline, the Milwaukee Bucks have told teams Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be made available while scanning for an impact player.
- Despite possessing financial flexibility and a tradable first-round pick, team sources say the Bucks lack many realistic avenues to acquire another star, limiting options.
- Antetokounmpo's presence shows the Bucks score 125.9 points per 100 possessions and are 14,13, but without him, efficiency drops to 107.6 and they are 3,11.
- Team sources say the stakes rise with each game without upward movement, while ESPN reported discussions between Giannis Antetokounmpo's representatives and the franchise could escalate; trading Antetokounmpo remains an extreme option the club shows no sign of pursuing.
- Eastern Conference executives caution trades of this magnitude usually take more than three weeks, so Milwaukee could chase a summer acquisition or trade draft-night first-round picks in 2026, 2031 and 2033.
