There has been a lot of speculation on the plan for the Milwaukee Bucks and their franchise star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
As the Bucks 2024-25 season is over after getting knocked out of the NBA Playoffs by the Indian Pacers, Milwaukee has some decisions to make before they take the court again in the fall.

Antetokounmpo has shown his interest in possibly leaving the team he’s spent his entire 12-year career with in hopes that he could join a team that has higher upside in winning NBA championships.
After the end of the Bucks’ season, he was asked about his future in Milwaukee and he wasn’t interested in making anything public.
Fast forward to almost half way through the month of May, insiders and even his own teammates have spoke on what the nine-time All-Star may do.
Bobby Portis spoke on the situation and he said that Antetokounmpo “bleeds green.”

“If I have no intention on staying with a young lady, I’m not gonna be in her comments teasing her,” Williams said on Monday.
It seems that he believes that Antetokounmpo will be staying with the team that he’s been with and won a championship with in 2021.
There has been great success for Antetokounmpo throughout his career has a member of the Bucks – becoming a two-time MVP, as well as winning a Defensive Player of the Year award in 2020.
As teams begin the NBA offseason, it will be difficult to see the 6-foot-11, 243-pound forward playing anywhere else than with the Bucks.
There’s always a chance he could be traded – but at what cost would a deal between two teams actually take place?
