Except for content from the 2021 championship, the Greek Freak has removed all posts related to the Bucks from his X and Instagram accounts.He only had photos from their NBA Finals and NBA Cup triumphs.

He appears to have also updated his bio on X to two words: “NBA athlete.”Antetokounmpo’s conduct has triggered significant trade talk in Milwaukee. The Greek Freak was clearly unhappy in Milwaukee based on his remarks about prioritizing earning a championship during the offseason and his interest in joining the New York Knicks.The Bucks’ 2025-26 season was expected to affect Giannis Antetokounmpo’s choice about his future. The front administration tried to address its roster difficulties by signing Miles Turner. Thanasis Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo’s brother, was also signed to a one-year contract.But given how the Bucks have performed this season, they may be close to losing their star player. This season, they are ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference with a 9-13 record. Furthermore, Antetokounmpo has to accomplish even more on both ends without a second star.Despite Giannis’ MVP stats, the Bucks have lost three of their last four games. The Washington Wizards, who have the worst record in the Eastern Conference, were their most recent opponent. Antetokounmpo may have become frustrated after losing to the Wizards, the lowest team in the same conference. The Bucks have lost eight of their last nine games, and after their eighth consecutive setback Friday, Antetokounmpo pushed his squad to embrace a selfless approach in an effort to get things back on track.Antetokounmpo said, per ESPN:”Nobody should have a personal agenda. Nobody should worry about what they want from themselves.. Worry only about winning mentality, winning mindset. The more we can win the games, the more everything takes care of itself.”As of yet, no trade request has been made. This ship might not have completely sunk. But those bitter winter winds in Milwaukee are swirling with the possibility of transformation.

They’re currently having their worst run in a long time. Milwaukee has lost eight of its last nine games.It doesn’t even matter that Antetokounmpo has gotten back on the court from injury. The Bucks continue to have difficulties.Furthermore, Milwaukee hasn’t made it past the first round of the playoffs since 2022 due to roster mismanagement and coaching dysfunction, which is an impressive accomplishment given that Antetokounmpo finished in the top five of the MVP voting in each of those seasons.Also read: Giannis Antetokounmpo celebrates EuroBasket bronze as Kostas Antetokounmpo faces uncertain NBA future
