Milwaukee Bucks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

According to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, Milwaukee Bucks guard Kevin Porter Jr. is expected to decline his $2.55 million player option. The 25-year-old began the 2024-25 campaign with the Clippers before being moved to the Bucks ahead of the trade deadline. He played well in Milwaukee, averaging 11.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 steals while shooting a career-high 40.8% from behind the arc. The franchise is hoping to retain him, considering Damian Lillard (Achilles) isn't expected to return anytime soon. If Porter stays in Milwaukee, he will have a good chance to handle things as a starter. If anything, he should have a routine role in head coach Doc Rivers' rotation.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo appears set to stay put for another offseason. According to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, there is currently "no trade market" for Antetokounmpo because he has not asked for a move and the Bucks are "not looking" to trade him. The two-time MVP has been linked with a move elsewhere after the Bucks suffered a third consecutive first-round exit in the playoffs. It was reported that he's "open-minded" about leaving the team. Several teams, including the Toronto Raptors, Houston Rockets, and New York Knicks, have been seen as potential suitors for Antetokounmpo. However, it looks like his future lies in Milwaukee, at least for now.

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo has been linked with a move to the Toronto Raptors. "I don't know if it will happen but I do know there is mutual interest between Antetokounmpo and the Raptors," writes Raptors insider Doug Smith in his mailbag column for the Toronto Star. "The wild card is the cost. But I also think the Raptors are uniquely placed to make an attractive offer that won't ruin their franchise or roster." Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee is murky following the team's three consecutive first-round exits in the playoffs. With ESPN's Brian Windhorst recently mentioning that the Raptors are looking for a "big fish" this summer, Antetokounmpo's potential move to north of the border may not be as far-fetched as it seems. Antetokounmpo will turn 31 next season, but the two-time MVP shows no signs of slowing down and should once again be among the first names off the draft board in fantasy leagues this fall.
