Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly ‘ready for a new home’ as the Feb. 5 NBA trade deadline approaches, with the Milwaukee Bucks beginning to listen to trade offers for the franchise icon, league sources tell ESPN’s Shams Charania. 

According to the latest reports, several rival teams have made “aggressive offers” for Giannis, and while the Bucks haven’t made a deal yet, their front office is more open than ever to entertaining proposals before the deadline or later in the offseason. 

This report likely confirms that Giannis is ready for change and has informed Milwaukee that he believes the moment has come to part ways after more than 12 years with the franchise, making a potential trade more likely. 

Milwaukee is reportedly willing to listen and engage with offers, though it remains cautious – indicating that it could postpone a trade until the offseason if the right package isn’t on the table before Feb. 5. 

Sources say the Bucks are seeking blue-chip young talent and a surplus of draft picks in any deal for the superstar forward, reflecting his elite value and impact. 

While no deal is imminent, teams such as the New York Knicks and Miami Heat have been mentioned among those making offers, with league insiders noting that Milwaukee’s willingness to engage could accelerate talks. The San Antonio Spurs and the Golden State Warriors have been linked to the forward as well.

Giannis’ reported openness to exploring a new situation reflects broader questions about the Bucks’ direction this season, especially with the team struggling and sitting outside the playoff picture. His eventual destination could reshape the league’s balance of power if a blockbuster trade materializes.

With the trade deadline just days away, the Bucks and Antetokounmpo will likely continue discussions both internally and with potential suitors. If a trade doesn’t happen by Feb. 5, talks could resume in the offseason as Milwaukee weighs its options with maximum flexibility – including what kind of return they can command for a generational talent.
