New report: About Giannis - Antetokounmpo s trading to the Rockets has a new situation

After weeks of speculation about Giannis Antetokounmpo, recent reports show that rumors about him have gradually subsided.

After weeks of speculation, rumors of Antetokounmpo's transaction came to an abrupt end. The Greek freak became the focus of NBA headlines after the Milwaukee Bucks were eliminated for the third straight in the first round.

Over the past few months, fans have been curious whether the Bucks will trade Antetokounmpo and rebuild after winning the 2021 championship. Since then, Milwaukee has experienced major trades and coaching changes.

As the Bucks start the regular season of the 2024-2025 season with 11 wins and 11 losses, rumors about Antetokounmpo's possible departure began to emerge. The Bucks then improved, but eventually failed in the playoffs again.

Now, as the offseason progresses, various reports seem to have put these transaction rumors on hold for the time being.

ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported this morning that unlike many people's views, there is currently no discussion on two-time MVP deals. Antetokounmpo did not ask for a trade, and the Bucks had no intention of giving up their team cornerstone, so his trading market did not exist.

It is more worth mentioning that Antetokounmpo recently went to Brazil and was interviewed by local media. He expressed his hope to win the championship in Milwaukee. When asked about the NBA Finals between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, the superstar said: "I support a great basketball game. The finals are unique and I hope to return to the Bucks as soon as possible."

In the trading rumors, the Houston Rockets are one of the teams closely linked to the Greek monsters. It is reported that as of now, Antetokounmpo is still their target. Other teams mentioned include the San Antonio Spurs, the New York Knicks, the Brooklyn Nets and the Toronto Raptors.

If Antetokounmpo formally makes a trade request, or the Bucks consider a trade offer, this could trigger the largest bidding battle in league history. Many teams, including the Rockets, have a large number of draft picks and talents to trade, which would have allowed the Bucks to rebuild quickly, which would have been a smooth process. However, Milwaukee is currently focusing on rushing to the championship with local stars.
