Giannis Antetokounmpo has not yet requested a trade from the Milwaukee Bucks, but he is “open-minded” to an exit and is in “fact-finding mode,” sources tell The Athletic. Antetokounmpo is “discussing his situation with trusted confidantes while making it clear that he’s reading the room here,” writes Sam Amick.
The medium-term future of the Bucks looked challenging given their ongoing salary, luxury tax and apron issues given their aging roster, but their short-term outlook took a massive hit in the first round when Damian Lillard suffered a torn Achilles.
The Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are considered two of the leading contenders to acquire Antetokounmpo given their ability to assemble an attractive trade package to offer the Bucks while also maintaining enough players around him to compete for titles. The New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks could be on the periphery. Similar to the Rockets and Spurs, the Oklahoma City Thunder could put together an attractive offer to the Bucks, but their level of interest is unknown and could be dependent on how their playoff run plays out.
Antetokounmpo signed an extension with the Bucks in 2023 following their trade for Lillard and he can become a free agent in 2026.
Jayson Tatum has undergone surgery to repair a torn right Achilles tendon on Tuesday following his injury in the fourth quarter of the Boston Celtics’ Game 4 loss to the New York Knicks on Monday.
Tatum will be out for the remainder of the 24-25 season and he faces an extended rehab ahead. The Celtics expect Tatum, who recently turned 27, to make a full recovery.
Tatum helped lead the Celtics to the 2024 NBA championship and then signed a five-year, $314 million supermax during the offseason that is the richest contract in NBA history. Tatum also won a gold medal last summer for the United States.
Tatum has played the most regular season and playoff games in the NBA since entering the league in 2017. Tatum will likely be named to First Team All-NBA for the fourth consecutive season.
The Dallas Mavericks have no plans to trade the top overall pick after winning the lottery on Monday and intend to select Cooper Flagg, sources tell ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. The Mavs had only a 1.8% chance of winning the lottery.
The Mavericks surprisingly were in the lottery after reaching The Finals in 2024, but they dealt with injuries throughout the season and traded away Luka Doncic shortly before the deadline. Dallas was in the play-in and after defeating the Sacramento Kings, they would have been out of the lottery had they beat the Memphis Grizzlies in the second play-in to enter the playoffs as the No. 8 seed.
“I’m being told that the Mavs are not trading this pick,” said Marc J. Spears. “Rick Welts, their president, sent an email to all his employees today saying ‘This is a new day.'”
Sources told ESPN that Patrick Dumont considers the opportunity to be in position to draft a generational talent like Flagg a “gift.” Dumont has final decision on all personnel matters.
“I don’t know who we’re going to take, but should we take him, I think his resume is pretty strong,” Mavs CEO Rick Welts said Tuesday of Flagg. “Every time he’s put in a situation that everyone wondered if he could succeed, he’s succeeded and then some.”
