Will Giannis Antetokounmpo stay with Bucks? Why trade request is far from certain for 'very loyal' superstar

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the 2024 NBA playoffs on April 29, 2025, in Indianapolis, Indiana.
  • This exit follows three straight first-round playoff losses and prompts questions about the Bucks' future and Antetokounmpo’s potential trade before the 2025-26 season.
  • Antetokounmpo recently signed a three-year, $175 million extension with Milwaukee in October 2023 and remains under contract through 2026-27, with a player option in 2027-28.
  • Despite speculation linking him to teams like Houston, New York, or Miami, Antetokounmpo has emphasized his loyalty to the Bucks, saying, "I'm not gonna do this," and expressing a personal goal to win a second championship in Milwaukee.
  • While Milwaukee has no incentive to trade him and sources report he’s happy, the Bucks will likely honor any trade request if Antetokounmpo decides to pursue a title elsewhere.
