Rockets General Manager Stone: I ve talked with the Bucks, and they hinted that they won t trade Antetokounmpo

This summer, rumors about Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo's transaction were repeatedly mentioned, but obviously, it was just rumors.

Earlier, Rockets general manager Rafael Stone was asked in an interview with ESPN Houston Radio about what is going on now "the big man from Greece in Milwaukee." Although Stone did not call him the name in answering the question, she admitted that there was no progress in his communication with Bucks general manager Jon Horst about this person.

"Jon made it very clear that they would not do anything about it." Stone said, "so that's the end of it."

Obviously, the Bucks' attitude is consistent with previous rumors outside: unless Antetokounmpo asks it, the Bucks will not consider trading him at all. At the same time, so far, there is no sign that Antetokounmpo has the intention to force the palace to leave the team. He is currently busy participating in the European Championships with the Greek national team and has never made any public statements of wanting to leave. His contract doesn't expire until 2027 and has a $62.8 million player option in 2028.
