The Bucks are listening to the most aggressive trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, and while the Hawks might not be on the Greek Freak’s list of preferred destinations, there isn’t a team in the NBA that can match the potential package Atlanta could offer.
Everything the Hawks could offer for Giannis Antetokounmpo
Draft Picks
- 2026 first-round pick (more favorable Milwaukee/New Orleans)
- 2027 first-round pick (top-four protected, least favorable Milwaukee/New Orleans)
- 2026 first-round swap (least favorable between Cleveland and Utah)
- 2028 first-round swap (least favorable between Cleveland and Utah)
- 2029 to 2032 first-round picks
—
The 2026 first-round pick (more favorable Milwaukee/New Orleans) is the golden ticket. It is the most valuable draft pick in the entire NBA because both Milwaukee and New Orleans are likely to finish with two of the worst records in the NBA, meaning that pick has the best odds of landing #1 overall in an absolutely loaded draft class.
The 2027 first-round pick (top-four protected, least favorable Milwaukee/New Orleans) is extremely valuable as well, and then the Hawks can also offer up a slew of future first-rounders.
Young Players
—
The Hawks have a wide array of young talent, and about all of it would be on the table for Giannis Antetokounmpo except for Jalen Johnson. He’s probably the only player or pick that would absolutely be off limits in negotiations.
Expiring Contracts
- Kristaps Porzingis ($30.7 million)
- Luke Kennard (Luke Kennard ($11 million)
- Mouhamed Gueye ($2.2 million)
—
These players might not carry a lot of value around the league, but expiring contracts are crucial to getting a blockbuster trade like this done. For starters, they make it possible for the salaries to work. However, they are also very valuable for a team like the Bucks. At the end of the season, they all become free agents, which would give Milwaukee a fresh cap sheet to work with in the offseason.
