The Greek Freak is still considering moving on from the Milwaukee Bucks.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Monday on “Get Up” that Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the midst of “very real conversations over the last week or so,” and that there is “nothing set in stone” about whether he’ll stay with the Bucks or leave Milwaukee this offseason.
Antetounkounmpo is reportedly asking questions about whether he can win a championship this year or next year with the current roster.
Publicly, Antetokounmpo appears to be committing to the Bucks.
During an eBay live stream from the National Sports Card Convention over the weekend, Antetokounmpo was discussing why he changed his autograph early in his career, saying he couldn’t keep signing his long, full name all the time because he wants to play for 15 or 20 years.
When a fan yelled “all in Milwaukee!” to Antetokounmpo, he replied, “all in Milwaukee, baby.”
The Bucks have gotten incredibly creative this offseason, having stretched and released Damian Lillard, who is set to miss the entire 2025-26 season with a torn Achilles, in order to sign Pacers center Myles Turner to a four-year, $107 million contract.
The move likely doesn’t move the needle too far for the Bucks’ title hopes, although the Eastern Conference is wide open with the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton also set to miss the year with Achilles injuries.
Still, it seems that a trade request is again on the table for the two-time NBA MVP, who led his team to a championship in 2021.
“Is this Bucks roster built for this upcoming season and for 2026-27 to win another championship, his second championship? Only Giannis Antetokounmpo can make that determination, and clearly he wants to do it on his own time,” Charania said.
Charania adds that some teams are waiting to see whether Antetokounmpo becomes available in a trade.
The Post’s Brian Lewis previously reported that the Nets have been long amassing assets with acquiring Antetokounmpo as their main target.
Antetokounmpo and the Bucks were eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs in five games, with Lillard mostly healthy during that time.
