Trent’s Bucks deal stirs trade chatter as Herro adjusts and Thanasis departs
Milwaukee reportedly signed Gary Trent Jr. to a four-year, $64 million deal that is expected to be fully guaranteed, with ESPN’s Shams Charania noting another team was exploring a similar sign-and-trade; such chatter is tempered by questions over guarantees and fit. Tyler Herro says he wants to move past his Miami exit and Vegas altercation with Bam Adebayo, and he would have chosen the Bucks if not with the Heat. Thanasis Antetokounmpo will not return to Milwaukee for 2026–27, and the Bucks are also mentioned as having sign-and-trade interest in Peyton Watson.
