The Milwaukee Bucks are out of the playoffs, and now all eyes are on their superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo. After the team’s early exit, many basketball experts think Giannis might not stay in Milwaukee much longer. In fact, some believe he could be wearing a new jersey when the 2025–26 NBA season begins.
Let’s take a closer look at what’s going on.
NBA Insider Says Giannis May Be Done in Milwaukee
Just one day after the Bucks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers, NBA insider Bobby Marks shared his opinion on ESPN. He believes Giannis might have played his last game as a Buck.
“Unfortunately, I think the time has ended in Milwaukee here with Giannis on this roster,” Marks said.

Why Could Giannis Be Traded?
There are a few big reasons why people think a trade might happen soon:
- Few draft picks: The Bucks don’t have a first-round pick this year. They only have one tradable first-round pick in either 2031 or 2032.
- Free agents leaving: Players like Brook Lopez, Gary Trent Jr., and Taurean Prince could all become free agents this summer.
- Rebuilding time?: If the Bucks trade Giannis, it could start a full rebuild. That means letting go of more players and starting fresh with younger talent.
If the team does trade Giannis, they might get a lot of draft picks in returnmaybe even for the 2025 NBA Draft.
Which Team Could Giannis Join? One Name Stands Out
NBA reporter Jake Fischer has already named a team that’s very interested in the “Greek Freak.” According to him, the San Antonio Spurs might go all-in to try and trade for Giannis.
“San Antonio is looking to continue to upgrade and add talent around Victor Wembanyama,” Fischer said. “You best believe they would call about Giannis Antetokounmpo.”
The Spurs have something the Bucks need lots of valuable draft picks. That could make them a perfect trade partner.
What Could a Spurs-Giannis Deal Look Like?
If this deal actually happens, here’s why it could be huge:
- Wembanyama and Giannis together: One is already a star, the other is a rising legend. Together, they could be the next big thing in the NBA.
- Championship dreams: With those two on the same team, the Spurs could become title contenders fast.
- Both win: The Bucks get picks to rebuild, and the Spurs get the help they need to compete now.
What’s Next for Giannis and the Bucks?
Right now, Giannis hasn’t said much about his future. But as free agency and the offseason heat up, we’ll likely hear more.
What’s clear is that big decisions are coming for Milwaukee. Whether it’s a full rebuild or trying to keep their core stars, the team’s next moves will shape its future for years.
