Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly "open-minded" about exploring potential trade fits, league sources with knowledge of the situation told ESPN's Shams Charania on Monday (May 12).

"Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has not made any firm decisions, but for the first time in his career, he is open-minded about whether his best fit is remaining in Milwaukee – or playing elsewhere, league sources told ESPN," Charania wrote on his X account.

The Bucks have been approached about the availability of Antetokounmpo, 30, a two-time NBA MVP, for several years and will likely entertain those talks when the NBA Scouting Combine takes place, the sources confirmed. Antetokounmpo's representatives, Giorgios Panou and Alex Saratsis, are reportedly expected to meet with Bucks brass to discuss his future this offseason.

Antetokounmpo, who is signed through at least the next two seasons, is coming off a season in which he averaged 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists while shooting 60% from the field during the regular season, as well as 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists during the postseason, despite the Bucks' being eliminated in five games to the Indiana Pacers. The Bucks are four years removed from winning the 2021 NBA championship and haven't made it past the first round in each of the last three seasons.

"Me not having a second championship -- I look back at my career and everybody can say, 'Oh, incredible career, active Hall of Famer, first ballot, whatever.' But me, my personal goal, if I am not able to help my team win a second ring, I'm letting down myself," Antetokounmpo said during an appearance with his brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo's podcast last month.
