Antetokounmpo's Future in Milwaukee

The Bucks superstar is heading into these games after being at the forefront of the NBA offseason. Antetokounmpo was in the midst of trade rumors for the past handful of months. 

Initial reports suggested that Antetokounmpo is 'open-minded' to a trade from Milwaukee. However, nothing came to light in that situation as the two sides have expressed that they are loyal to each other. 

The 30-year-old has spent his entire career in Milwaukee, and it appears that will be the case for the rest of his career. Still, a lot can and will change in the next handful of seasons. 

Antetokounmpo has a player option in the summer of 2027 and could be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2028. 

Although Antetokounmpo loves where he is at right now, that could change if Milwaukee fails to put a championship roster around him. As things stand, that is far from the case as Milwaukee's roster is not fit to cope with the elite of the elite in the NBA. 

Nonetheless, with a top-three player on their side in Antetokounmpo, the Bucks have a puncher's chance to be a top team in the East.
