NBA – The end is nigh for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

Par Mathieu Seguin | Rédacteur sport

Potentially on his way out of the Bucks, a decision should be made soon for Giannis Antetokounmpo. He must decide before the draft, which could totally change depending on his choice. The league has been warned.

After another unsuccessful season, with elimination in the first round of the playoffs, it’s fair to wonder whether the Bucks won’t begin a rebuild for the next campaign. Damian Lillard is injured for a very long time, and the arrival of Kyle Kuzma has changed nothing. Worse? The roster has undoubtedly weakened, a few years after a title.

So there are doubts about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future. We know he loves Wisconsin and wants to spend the rest of his career in Milwaukee in the perfect scenario, but he’s made it clear that he wants to win a second title above all else. And given the current momentum, the Bucks are a long, long way from being able to match the competition.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s endgame in sight?

That’s why the player is opening the door to a departure, according to Shams Charania. This doesn’t mean he’ll be leaving the Bucks this summer, but the player wants to embark on a process of reflection, which should lead to a decision… as early as next week. That’s when the Greek Freak will meet with his managers.

One imagines that the Bucks will want to retain him, while Giannis will want guarantees for the future. The problem is that Milwaukee doesn’t have the necessary assets to improve their squad, and is certainly behind the curve when it comes to the competition. The future of one of the NBA’s best players will therefore soon be decided.

Chris Haynes : “I’ve been told that the Bucks made contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo this morning, and that a meeting is scheduled for the middle of next week. This will be an opportunity for him to talk to the management and discuss the direction of the team. He has ambitions and wants to win several championships. It’ll be a crucial meeting.”

We don’t know if we’ll have any information after the meeting, but it’s safe to assume that Giannis will have all the information he needs to make his choice. In any case, he’ll have to make up his mind before the draft, as the event could change completely depending on his decision.
