When is the Giannis trade happening? Timeframe for blockbuster deal

[ASFN Admin]

The looming Giannis Antetokounmpo blockbuster NBA trade feels like a foregone conclusion at this point; when will this finally go through so that we can all move on with our lives?

According to ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania on Monday morning, the trade, or "resolution," should happen before Tuesday's first round of the 2026 NBA Draft. He listed the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat as the finalists for the NBA superstar in a two-team deal.

So, at this point, it could happen any moment. At the very least, it should fall through before Tuesday evening. So, Heat, Celtics and Bucks fans? Hold on to your butts; Giannis should be on the move very soon.

Shams on potential Giannis trade:

"Sources tell me a trade and a resolution is coming for the Milwaukee Bucks with Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA Draft."
