Milwaukee Bucks in final negotiations for Giannis Antetokounmpo trade

The Milwaukee Bucks are currently in advanced negotiations to trade Giannis Antetokounmpo prior to the 2026 NBA Draft scheduled for June 23-24. NBA reporters Shams Charania and Marc Stein confirm that the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics are the primary finalists for the trade. The Miami offer reportedly includes Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Nikola Jovic, and multiple draft picks, including the 13th overall pick. The Boston Celtics have re-entered the race with an offer centered around Jaylen Brown. The Bucks are prioritizing a deal that would allow them to control draft assets immediately, potentially proceeding without a third-team facilitator. While some sources suggest a two-team deal is likely, other reports indicate the possibility of multi-team involvement to ease the process. Antetokounmpo, who has been with the franchise since 2013, is widely expected to leave Milwaukee before the draft begins.
