Off the court, Dec. 15 is the day that 79 players who signed or extended their contracts last summer become eligible to be traded — it's the unofficial opening day of NBA trade season. That, however, didn't move things closer to an Antetokounmpo trade. Where do things stand with an Antetokounmpo trade? Let's break it down.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s trade buzz may be overstated, with reports suggesting his preferred destinations are limited.

Most teams got a breather while the NBA Cup wraps, and phone calls between front offices will take on a new urgency in the coming days.

The current frontrunners linked to Antetokounmpo appear to be the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, and Golden State Warriors. The Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves have also been mentioned as having interest, depending on the price.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly uncomfortable with ongoing trade rumors, with insiders saying the Bucks star has not asked out.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets have consistently been mentioned as potential Giannis trade suitors for years for two main reasons: a) all of them are currently in a “championship window” meaning Antetokounmpo fits their timeline, and b) they all have a surplus of future draft assets to trade for the future.

There have been no indications of a potential Giannis trade to the Warriors from Sam Amick's conversations with the Warriors players.

NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo has purchased a two-building multifamily rental complex in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood known as the Lawrence for $25.18 million. Seth Brown and Richard Ludwig were the sellers. Matthew Peters and Jack Sullivan with Marcus & Millichap brokered the deal.

The Golden State Warriors appear skeptical about the possibility of Giannis Antetokounmpo requesting a trade to the Bay Area. According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, discussions with the team’s core players have revealed no signs that a move for Giannis is being considered.
