Jake Fisher still thinks the Bucks will trade Giannis this summer
The The Milwaukee Bucks have been frustrated recently NBA world not trading Giannis Antetokounmpo at the deadline, despite huge clamor from league reporters that a deal was on the horizon. Antetokounmpo is currently out with an injury, and the team has fallen freely in the Eastern Conference playoff standings as a result.
Despite being stagnant in term, not everyone is convinced that Milwaukee will be Antetokounmpo’s home for the long haul.
Recently, NBA insider Jake Fisher detailed his belief that the Bucks will complete a trade for the Greek freak this summer, noting that “it’s undeniably true that the Bucks will receive more attractive offers in the offseason than they were able to receive this month,” per Marc Stein’s Substack.
Fisher also noted that he continues to “hear rival teams musing aloud about the potential emergence of Brooklyn as a credible destination given that the Nets have considerable draft capital for, say, Michael Porter Jr.” and that one of the Western Conference teams that inevitably disappoint in this year’s playoffs could be interested in Antetokounmpo.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are exactly one playoff series away from their 2021 NBA championship, and injury concerns have become a growing problem for the star in recent seasons, particularly with his calf, which is often seen as a precursor to a potentially more devastating Achilles injury.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen if the Bucks will bring Antetokounmpo back at all this year, as keeping him would increase their chances of securing a good pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, although they will have to settle for less than their own selection and the New Orleans Pelicans.
Either way, it seems NBA fans can expect Antetokounmpo’s grueling trade saga to heat up again this summer.
