Milwaukee — The Milwaukee Bucks turned down a trade proposal from the Boston Celtics that centered on All-Star guard Jaylen Brown in exchange for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, according to a New York Post report published on June 23, 2026.
The offer, described in the report as “stunning,” was submitted during recent trade discussions. Exact details of the proposed package beyond Brown’s inclusion were not disclosed, and neither franchise publicly commented on the negotiations. Milwaukee ultimately chose to keep Antetokounmpo, who remains under contract with the Bucks and is viewed as the cornerstone of the team’s long-term plans.
The Celtics, led by Brown and fellow All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum, have routinely explored aggressive moves aimed at securing their first championship since 2008. Antetokounmpo, a two-time league MVP and 2021 NBA champion, has drawn interest from several clubs whenever questions about his future in Milwaukee arise.
The Bucks’ refusal to engage further in talks effectively ends this particular scenario, leaving both players with their current teams as offseason preparations continue.
