During the To the Baha podcast<\/a>, Villanueva stated that Giannis will be a part of the Orlando Magic next season, while in return the Bucks will receive Orlando\u2019s All-Star forward.<\/p>\n

“You know I’m involved in the Milwaukee Bucks situation, I’m involved with organization somehow, someway. You know where he’s going? Orlando Magic. Remember I said that. Giannis is going to the Orlando Magic. Paolo (Banchero), have a good night,” Villanueva stated.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to earlier reports<\/a>, the Magic are among the teams that are keeping an eye on Giannis for a potential blockbuster deal.<\/p>\n

Antetokounmpo has two more years left on his max contract, with 2027-28 being a player option. He will be extension-eligible by October 1st.<\/p>\n

Giannis has been the subject of countless trade rumors all season. But amid interest from several teams, he ultimately remained in Milwaukee past the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

The expectation currently is that Giannis might have played his last game with the Bucks after an injury- and drama-filled season.<\/p>\n

In 36 games this season, he is averaging 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. He is also shooting 62.4 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three.<\/p>\n
