Summary
The Milwaukee Bucks are considering including the New Orleans Pelicans or Portland Trail Blazers in a potential trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo to recover some of their lost future first-round draft picks, which are owed to these teams. The Pelicans hold the Bucks’ picks for 2025, 2026, and 2027 from the Jrue Holiday trade, while the Blazers control the picks for 2028, 2029, and 2030 due to the Damian Lillard deal. Recently, reports indicated that Antetokounmpo might be open to leaving the Bucks, but no decision on a trade request has been made public yet.
