Is Giannis Antetokounmpo setting the stage to leave Milwaukee?
Has Giannis Antetokounmpo changed? And if he has, what does that mean for his future in Milwaukee?
Those are the questions NBA executives have been pondering since Antetokounmpo openly discussed in two different interviews recently about potentially not re-signing with the Milwaukee Bucks.
This is the same Giannis who once showed his commitment to Milwaukee by becoming a part-owner of the city’s baseball team, the Brewers. The same Giannis who relished “taking the hard way” by spurning free agency to re-up with the Bucks and win the franchise’s first championship in 2021. The same Giannis who has philosophized about the importance of staying present and understanding that losing does not necessarily equal failure.
For the first time, though, Giannis is openly flirting with the idea of leaving Milwaukee. He has announced he’ll take a wait-and-see approach on signing a contract extension, and he is pointing to the importance of winning as the reason.
