Report: Bucks listening on aggressive Giannis offers

The Milwaukee Bucks have started listening to offers for nine-time All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is ready to be dealt to a new team, sources told Shams Charania of ESPN.

Several teams have already made aggressive offers for the two-time MVP, but the Bucks have indicated they're willing to wait until the summer for a trade if their price isn't met, reports Charania.

Antetokounmpo is reportedly open to being moved by the in-season Feb. 5 deadline but is also receptive to departing this offseason.

The Greek star is currently sidelined after re-aggravating a calf strain. Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said Monday that there's no official timeline. However, Antetokounmpo said Sunday that he expected to miss four-to-six weeks, an absence that would extend well beyond the trade deadline.

The 31-year-old is putting up 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 5.6 assists through 30 games this season while leading the NBA in made two-pointers per game (10). However, he'd already missed 14 games this season before suffering his latest injury Sunday.

Antetokounmpo has also publicly criticized the Bucks' on-court performance. Following a 20-point defeat against the Oklahoma City Thunder last week, the one-time NBA champion said a lack of chemistry was to blame for the Bucks' recent blowout losses.

Milwaukee has struggled with and without Antetokounmpo in the lineup but has fared much worse without him, losing 12 of the 15 games he's been unavailable. When he sits, the Bucks post a minus-10.2 net rating, the second-worst off-court net rating by any Bucks player behind only AJ Green.
