On Feb. 3, 2026, the New York Post reported that the Milwaukee Bucks are prepared to take a cautious, wait-and-see stance on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s long-term future with the franchise. According to the Post, that measured timeline could give the New York Knicks a realistic window to assemble a trade package for the two-time NBA MVP.
The report states that Milwaukee intends to monitor league developments before making definitive roster moves involving Antetokounmpo. By delaying any immediate decisions, the Bucks could inadvertently allow the Knicks additional time to position themselves for a potential offer should the forward become available.
No formal trade discussions were reported, and both organizations have not publicly shifted from their current plans. However, the Post notes that the Bucks’ willingness to wait could become a crucial factor if New York chooses to pursue a blockbuster deal.
