The Los Angeles Lakers, after trading for Luka Doncic, are targeting Giannis Antetokounmpo to form a historic Big Three with LeBron James, per ESPN’s Shams Charania. The complex trade, amid Giannis’ uncertain Bucks future, aims to revive LA’s title hopes post-playoff loss.

On May 8, 2025, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported that the Los Angeles Lakers, led by GM Rob Pelinka, are pursuing Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo to join LeBron James and Luka Doncic, following their blockbuster February trade for Doncic in exchange for Anthony Davis, per The Athletic. After a 4-1 first-round playoff loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Lakers aim to bolster their roster, with Antetokounmpo, 30, as the centrepiece.

According to Yahoo Sports, the proposed trade could see the Lakers offer Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, Jarred Vanderbilt, Dalton Knecht, a 2031 first-round pick, and a 2026 pick swap. Antetokounmpo’s $48.7 million salary this season, rising to $62.2 million by 2027, demands financial manoeuvring.

Giannis’ Bucks Stagnation

According to ESPN, despite Antetokounmpo’s stellar 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game, the Bucks have struggled against Eastern Conference giants like the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers.

Giannis’ talks with Milwaukee’s management reflect frustration, with NBA insiders suggesting he’s open to joining the Lakers if a deal materialises, per The Ringer. The Bucks face fan backlash risks, recalling Doncic’s Dallas exit, per CBS Sports, but seek substantial compensation for their two-time MVP.
