The Milwaukee Bucks are navigating a difficult stretch as the NBA trade deadline approaches on Feb. 5. The season has not gone as planned, and injuries have played a role in the team’s inconsistency.
Milwaukee Bucks lost handily to the Boston Celtics due to a non-existent offense, 107-79. Ryan Rollins led the visitors with 25 points, six rebounds, and seven assists, while Jaylen Brown heated up to the tune of 30 points and 13 boards.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are officially moving towards ending their mostly successful tenure together, and naturally, the entire league is on notice.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
The Milwaukee Bucks are 18-28 on the season, 12th place in the NBA Eastern Conference, and quickly emerging as a serious candidate for a top-ten pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The Dallas Mavericks have been at the center of the NBA trade discussions since early December, particularly during their challenging 9-16 start. While some high-profile rumors did not ultimately materialize, the focus has remained on D’Angelo Russell as a potential trade piece.
Giannis Antetokounmpo would draw trade interest from virtually every NBA team, though there are only a few he would realistically consider re-signing with.
In trade rumors that don’t involve a certain someone, the Milwaukee Bucks have the Brooklyn Nets’ Cam Thomas and the Dallas Mavericks’ D’Angelo Russell on their radar, per Michael Scotto.
Jae Crowder tends to make himself heard. The former NBA forward, who played for nine teams in 13 seasons -- including Sacramento last season for the last nine of his 812 games -- has always tweeted in capital letters.
Around the NBA, there is no consensus on when the Bucks will actually pull the trigger on a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade. The Stein Line’s Marc Stein and
Myles Turner has not given the Milwaukee Bucks the year they hoped for when they signed the ex-Pacers center to a four-year, $109 million contract last summer.
Another team has quietly checked in on Giannis Antetokounmpo, even if expectations remain modest. Marc Stein of The Stein Line reports the Trail Blazers have expressed interest to the Bucks in a potential Antetokounmpo deal.
The downfall of D’Angelo Russell must be studied. Seriously, though, the former second overall pick has gone from an 18-PPG scorer two years ago to a hot potato and candidate for a salary dump at age 29, effectively out of the rotation on his third team in since last season.
HoopsHype insider Michael Scotto reported Saturday that the Milwaukee Bucks are eyeing Nets guard Cam Thomas ahead of the trade deadline. In a down year compared to his two prior seasons, Thomas is averaging 16.1 points and 3.1 assists while shooting a paltry 39.9% from the field and 31.8% on threes.
The constant trade rumors involving Giannis Antetokounmpo suggest an unfortunate future for the Milwaukee Bucks. The team hasn’t been anything fans could take much pride in and to make matters worse, their head coach Doc Rivers has hit a new low with fans over his recent praise for Joel Embiid.
The silence is louder than the loyalty. For the first time in more than a decade, the Milwaukee Bucks are openly weighing a future that does not revolve around their franchise cornerstone.
In the concrete jungle of New York City, the point guard position isn’t just a role on a roster—it’s a badge of honor. To be a “Point God” in the five boroughs requires a specific blend of grit, flair, and an unshakable resolve.
A former Milwaukee Bucks player pointed the finger at head coach Doc Rivers on Wednesday for the major issues the franchise has endured over the previous two years.
