While the Bucks’ early playoff exit raised serious questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future, things appear to be shifting behind the scenes. Several teams were closely monitoring the situation, but Milwaukee seems more determined than ever to retain its franchise player.
For weeks, the Bucks have been working to secure Giannis’ long-term commitment. Though he hasn’t formally requested a trade, rumors—especially involving the Spurs—had been swirling. However, Milwaukee has made it clear they have no intention of parting ways with their superstar.
With Doc Rivers now at the helm, the franchise is hoping for a fresh start. The veteran coach, respected throughout the league, has presented a solid plan to revitalize the team. Alongside GM Jon Horst, the focus is on continuity and experience to rebuild a competitive roster around Giannis for next season.
Mission accomplished for the Bucks?
The front office aims to keep the team’s core intact and target at least a top-6 finish in the Eastern Conference. Optimism also comes from the anticipated return of Damian Lillard, who is recovering from an Achilles injury. If he returns before the end of next season, it could be a major boost.
@TheDunkCentral : “Doc Rivers and Jon Horst have presented plans to keep the Bucks’ core intact around Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the goal of competing for a top-six playoff spot and the hope that Damian Lillard can return from his Achilles recovery before the end of next season, per Brian Windhorst (ESPN).”
Despite continued interest from other franchises, Giannis currently shows no clear signs of wanting out. His loyalty to Milwaukee, combined with the team’s commitment to build around him, may ultimately tip the scales.
If the Bucks manage to regain stability and successfully reintegrate Lillard, they could re-emerge as serious contenders. For Giannis, staying and making another run where it all began is starting to look more and more likely. Some teams—once eager to pursue him—have already turned their attention to other options, including Kevin Durant.
