The NBA offseason is active with free agency approaching, featuring players like Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Quentin Grimes, and Brook Lopez seeking new teams. Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly monitoring how the team handles free agency and builds a competitive roster around him, especially with Damian Lillard expected to miss significant time next season.
According to a New York Post article, several teams—including the New York Knicks, Brooklyn Nets, Golden State Warriors, Miami Heat, and San Antonio Spurs—have rumored interest in Antetokounmpo if he becomes available. His shared agent with Warriors star Steph Curry could facilitate a potential move to Golden State.
The Bucks' roster has significantly changed since their 2021 NBA championship, losing key players Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. Unless Milwaukee makes a major trade, their current lineup is unlikely to be a title contender.
For the Warriors to acquire Antetokounmpo, they would likely need to part with Draymond Green or Jimmy Butler, or wait until Jonathan Kuminga can be traded at full-contract value during the season. Teams are closely watching how Antetokounmpo's stance evolves in the coming weeks, with ESPN's Shams Charania noting he is "closely observing" the Bucks' draft and free agency moves.
