A… bomb for his future Giannis Antetokounmpo threw the Mark Stein!
The well-known and authoritative insider of the NBA emphasized that the stay of the “Greek Freak” in Milwaukee is anything but a given, with the Los Angeles Lakers and the New York Knicks to be the two main groups that could ‘threaten’ the ‘deer and get him!
This news alone does not cause an impression, since the Los Angeles and the New York they are the two most … big markets in the league, which would have the ability to satisfy the demands of Giannis, who has one of the richest contracts of all time.
Of course, also, this report did not come out of nowhere, since Giannis himself a few days ago raised doubts about his future in Milwaukee. Speaking to the “New York Times”, the Greek star referred to the prospect of further extending his contract with the team, stressing that this will only happen if he feels that the Bucks they do what they need for the championship.
Admittedly, Antetokounmpo has stated in the past that he would like to spend his entire career with the Bucks, but as Stein points out, the “quiet years” for the Bucks are over after the team’s last few bad seasons, after winning the championship, have already created doubts in the player’s mind. Of course, developments are not expected immediately in this matter, but even if the Bucks are below par this year, nothing is ruled out, especially with two such popular teams lurking…
What Mark Stein wrote in detail:
The Lakers and Knicks are already listed as franchises interested in Antetokounmpo down the road if he decides to leave Milwaukee, which has just made several moves (re-signing Middleton and Lopez and replacing Mike Budenholzer as coach with Adrian Griffin). to try to appease his star. You can be sure, if nothing else, that the Giannis thing is back and, like it or not, it’s going to bring his future back to the forefront of the NBA conversation after just three seasons of relative quiet that must have gone by awfully fast for Bucks fans.”
