The Brooklyn Nets are reportedly reluctant to pursue a trade for Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo because the move could require using roster spots on his brothers, Thanasis and Kostas.
Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson of Fullcourtpass reported the concern on May 6, 2026. The item quickly circulated online but offered no indication that negotiations between Brooklyn and Milwaukee are under way or imminent.
Any deal for the two-time MVP would likely overhaul Brooklyn’s roster, draft-pick reserve and salary structure. The Nets are expected to explore high-profile acquisitions this offseason while searching for a long-term franchise cornerstone.
Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee has come under increased scrutiny following another early playoff exit for the Bucks, making his availability one of the league’s most watched story lines.
