Is Giannis Antetokounmpo Leaving Milwaukee Bucks? Greek Superstar Reveals Future Plans with Blunt Knicks, Lakers Admission
Giannis Antetokounmpo emphasized loyalty to the Bucks despite their 23-30 record and ongoing trade interest from teams including the Lakers and Miami Heat.
- During NBA All‑Star Weekend, Antetokounmpo told ESPN he is committed to the Milwaukee Bucks, emphasizing his dedication to his teammates, coaching staff, Coach Doc Rivers, and GM Jon Horst.
- Sources said leaguewide interest emerged because ESPN reported Antetokounmpo had been ready for a new home for months and the Bucks listened to offers, with prior reports linking him to the Lakers and Luka Dončić pushing for a trade.
- Using a vivid analogy, Antetokounmpo said he wants another bite of the 2021 NBA championship steak and reflected on childhood dreams involving the Knicks, Lakers, Celtics, and Thunder.
- Shortly after the Feb. 5 deadline, Antetokounmpo wrote 'Legends don't chase. They attract' on Instagram, as the team remained 23-30 and 12th in the Eastern Conference.
- Antetokounmpo's contract timeline gives him leverage because he has one guaranteed year left and starting Oct. 1 can sign a $275 million four-year extension, while Lakers' assets align with this timing.
