Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘remains Plan A’ for Nets

April 1, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Multiple league personnel that have spoken with The Post say Giannis Antetokounmpo has been and remains Plan A for the Nets.  If Antetokounmpo gets traded elsewhere this summer, that may make GM Sean Marks’ path simple, tanking for another year and building through the lottery.  But what happens if the two-time MVP is in Milwaukee past the June draft, when Marks usually makes his biggest moves? Are potential lesser targets like Ja Morant, Domantas Sabonis, Trae Young or LaMelo Ball worth emptying the proverbial clip for if it means abandoning all hope for the Greek Freak?

Eric Nehm: Bucks injury report vs. Phoenix on Tuesday: Out: Damian Lillard (Right Calf Deep Vein Thrombosis) Bobby Portis Jr. (League Suspension) Jericho Sims (Right Thumb UCL Sprain) Questionable: AJ Green (Right AC Joint Sprain) Probable: Giannis Antetokounmpo (Left Foot Sprain) -via Twitter @eric_nehm / March 31, 2025
“This is who we are,” Giannis Antetokounmpo said. “We have to keep on watching film as a team and keep on coming together and try to figure out ways to win games. At times we played good basketball. We got back in the game, within four points, six points, it was good. But it wasn’t enough. They were more physical. They played with more effort than us and they are a better team than us. Simple as that.” -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / March 29, 2025
After the Milwaukee Bucks’ loss to the New York Knicks on Friday, Giannis reacted to LeBron’s comment with a funny response, saying he would actually score 275 points in a single game back then. “I don’t know about that take. I think it’s wrong… It would probably be more like 275,” Giannis jokingly said. “It’s a great compliment, but I don’t like comparing eras—it’s not fair. If I played in the ’70s, with how everybody was practicing and playing, we would have played the same way. That’s all you knew at the time, and the game has evolved since then,” he added. -via BasketNews / March 29, 2025
