Future Of Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo Still Seems Up In Air

For now, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks are expected to stay together for another run. 

At the same time, the idea of the Bucks and their biggest star running it back still seems slightly up in the air. Per ESPN’s Ramon Shelburne, nothing is yet set in stone.

“My sense is just from conversations around the league, I don’t think anything will be decided on his end until August, September, because big deals or anything like that, whether he goes or stays, that kind of decision won’t come until later in the summer,” Shelburne said on ESPN’s NBA Today.

A report last week indicated Antetokounmpo wasn’t exactly thrilled with how Milwaukee went about waiving the injured Damian Lillard. At the same time, sources have told Hoops Wire that Antetokounmpo appears pleased with the Bucks’ moves since the Lillard decision.

For instance, the Bucks waived Lillard in part to sign former Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner, who becomes the immediate starter in Milwaukee.
