With them Bucks have made a number of moves in Free Agency, a matter discussed enough is whether Giannis Antetokounbos He has a say on these decisions as the star of the team.

More generally, “Greek Freak” does not have the reputation of a player who is “mixed” in a team’s administrative decisions. However, his old teammate in Milwaukee and current NBA reporter, John Hensonhe claimed that there was one particular time that John put a “veto” in one move.

Indeed, this trade, which was not finally done, would “shake the waters” in the league. According to Henson, the Greek international “blocked” years ago an exchange of his very good friend, Chris Middletonwith the NBA star, Jimmy Butlerwhich the Bucks were examined.

“Specifically, there was an exchange discussed a long time ago, the exchange of Chris Middleton with Jimmy Butler. John said, “No, we won’t do that.” This was the only time I saw him take a place on such a matter. If something goes wrong, he’ll say something. But for the most part, she lets the administration do her job, “Henson said in detail.

THE Hensone He did not mention exactly when this discussion of the exchange within the Bucks’ offices took place, but it makes sense that Anti -Kounbo did not want to lose the Middletongiven how close they were all these years to Bucks.
