Potential Giannis Antetokounmpo Trade may not Happen Until "August, September"
According to ESPN's Ramona Shelbourne, a potential trade involving Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo may not happen until "August, September." "My sense is just from conversations around the league," said Shelbourne. "I don't think anything will be decided on his end until August, September, because big deals or anything like that, whether he goes or stays, that kind of decision won't come until later in the summer." It seems Shelbourne's latest take may be nothing more than speculation. However, it's fair to say she has a proven track record when it comes to NBA happenings. The Bucks' roster will look different this season, with Myles Turner signing with the team after a lengthy stint with the Indiana Pacers. Bobby Portis will also return, although Damian Lillard (Achilles) was released, and Brook Lopez will head to Los Angeles to join the Clippers. With all that considered, Antetokounmpo is an MVP caliber performer, most recently finishing the 2024 campaign by averaging a career-high 30.4 points with 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks. His percentages from deep and the free throw line aren't the best. He has also had issues staying healthy over the years. Still, Antetokounmpo should remain a top-five fantasy option regardless of his future in Milwaukee.
