The Milwaukee Bucks have indicated to teams that they are keeping Giannis Antetokounmpo through the trade deadline and will start making other trades, sources tell ESPN.
I am so freaking tired of this Giannis thing. I just want it to be over.

Yawn. Bucks need to realize they have no assets. The damage has already been done. Although they are desperate.

I think it is more about hope they can get better offers for Giannis in the summer. Or get lucky with a top 5 pick and convince him they can be competitive again.

The Clippers have maintained a high asking price of draft capital for Ivica Zubac, sources say. I've been told that Zubac and Daniel Gafford in Dallas remain the Pacers' leading targets to find a starting center for Tyrese Haliburton next season.
Well Zubac is better but much more expensive. I have no idea the package for Gafford. Mathurin seems too much but his FA may complicates things. Especially if they don't see paying him close to the number he expects. How many teams have cap room this summer? They may balk at paying 20 plus million for a guy who will be coming off the bench.

I am not so sure. Would Memphis really take Kuzma and Portis for Morant? Milwaukee could sweeten the deal with just one FRP (and it wouldn't be really wise for them to do that). Of course I don't know what Miami is offering. Something like Rozier, Fontecchio and Mitchel?

I think holding onto Giannis now is the smart move. A lot of the same teams will be interested this offseason. Plus other teams will join.
Getting a top 5 pick will be tricky. They will need their pick and the Pelicans pick to both be in the top 5. Although, that would be the last hope they have. Well let me back that up, they will offer Giannis a huge extension. If he takes it, they keep him. I assume he will not take it though...and that will begin the real trade conversations.
RE: Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST - Chicagojk - 02-05-2026
Maybe MIL will be open to a highly attractive OKC 2026 first round pick and a top 20 GSW pick in 2030 as a package for Giannis?
RE: Trade & FA 2025-26: Free Agency Starts 5pm CST/6pm EST - omahen - 02-05-2026
Milwaukee could also focus only on small deals, selling their vet min vets for younger players who need a change of scenery or minutes. Tank will be the top priority now, imho

I think A) MIL still thinks they can find a way to hold onto Giannis. Still. B) The main reason the team isn't good is the lack of a PG. C) They are desperate enough to connect the dots between A and B and convince themselves Morant is the answer. D) MEM just wants rid of Morant, at this point. This is key, because I believe they'll accept the best "firm" offer they get today. Riley might have interest, but he'll try to nickel and dime it, as always.
I can see it happening, personally.

I can too.
If we thought living with the AD constipation until summer was bad, can you imagine what it's like for the Memphis fanbase? And the FO probably feels like its living with a live grenade. Memphis isn't the place for this guy.

Yeah, Memphis will get less than what we got for AD for Ja.

Does Myles Turner have any value? Would a team like the Lakers take him on for cheap?

Sure he does! I don't agree with your premise, however. I think MIL still thinks they can keep Giannis, based on his total unwillingness to "be the bad guy" publicly. I might be totally wrong, but I think they've shifted to "add mode" today. We'll see.

I've never seen a center who just stands outside the 3 point line than Turner. A 7 footer who rarely mixes it up for rebounds.

Rebounding is his weakness, no doubt. But, he's a GOOD defender, and "standing outside the 3 point line" has value. Big value. He's also a good cutter and screener.
You don't think GS wouldn't have rather had him than Porzingis? I don't see ANY indication that MIL is wanting to move Turner. I think they (rightfully) think he's a good fit with Giannis, and that they (probably wrongfully) can add enough before Giannis publicly states his desire to be traded (taking them off the hook with their fans) to convince him to stay, making the fit between he and Turner matter.
