The Bucks' plan with Giannis Antetokounmpo on the market
According to Marc Stein, Milwaukee will not start negotiating the departure of their star until he personally requests it
Although the NBA Playoffs 2025 still have a long way to go, for the Milwaukee Bucks, it ended once again in the 1st round. The franchise was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers (4-1), and now they know they need to make changes to their roster.
However, what they do not want, understandably, is to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo, who, according to NBA Rumors, is very likely to request a trade this summer.
But that won't make the Bucks give in. According to Marc Stein, of The Stein Line, the team is standing firm despite all the speculation and will not negotiate Antetokounmpo's trade until the player personally requests a "transfer request."
"The rumor that is always heard is that having Giannis is very important for them financially. They won't change him unless he pushes for it. The whole league is on edge waiting to see if Giannis's representatives go to the Bucks and say, 'It's time. Trade us,'" Stein said.
