NBA Insider expects Bucks GM to “affect” the other team in potential Giannis trade

An NBA insider believes that the Milwaukee Bucks will make great efforts to get as much as possible from every team that tries to exchange the antetocounmpo in the low season for the superstar.

Speak on the wrestler on Friday Real (H/T. HOOpshype.com), Sam Amick from athletics found that he imagined that general manager Jon Horst Bucks tries to “dampen” the list of potential Giannis trading partners, said:

“How, you want every scenario to go out the other team. And Jon Horst will go here, I will tell you. He has just had a new expansion. He has the support of the organization. Jon will not only try to be on good conditions, with Giannis. Where he looks into the room and says: 'Let me stay in order.' “

After a third playoff exit in the first round in a row, rumors and speculations were widespread in terms of potential Giannis trading.

They were tightened by the fact that No. 2 of Bucks No. 2, Damian Lillard, while the playoffs suffered a torn Achilles, which means that he may not be able to play in the next season.

In addition, Center Brook Lopez and Guard Gary Trent Jr. will meet a free agency this low season, while Bobby Portis can also be when he rejects his player option.

That would work with very little antetocounmpo to work it next season, and maybe both him and the Bucks incentive to look for a trade.

NBA insider Marc Stein said at the beginning of this month All NBA Podcast (H/t realgm) that he does not believe that Giannis wants to ask the Bucks for a trade, and he does not see the goats if that acts, unless that happens.

At the beginning of this week, Shams Charania von ESPN reported that Giannis is “open -minded whether his best long -term fit remains in Milwaukee or plays elsewhere”.

This indicates that Antetocounmpo is accessible for a trade, although there was no indication that he has requested you.

The 30-year-old Antetocounmpo is currently one of the best NBA players and all time with a nine all-star selection, two NBA MVP Awards, an NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award, an NBA championship and an NBA final MVP price.

He continues to produce on an elite level and achieved an average of 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in 2024-25.

Giannis is a franchise -modified player who could possibly take a team from the edge of the playoff to the championship work. Therefore, it is just as surprised that the Bucks want to have a massive train for him.

However, if Amick is right that the bucks have no meaning for the accommodation of Giannis and the search for a comfortable landing site for him, it is fair to ask whether a team is able or willing to achieve the potential price.
