US EditionGiannis Antetokounmpo reportedly 'open-minded' about leaving Milwaukee: sources
- Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP and NBA champion, is reportedly open-minded about leaving the Milwaukee Bucks following their 2024-25 first-round playoff exit.
- This development follows the Bucks' third consecutive first-round elimination and ongoing trade rumors intensified by Damain Lillard’s Achilles injury and roster challenges.
- The New Orleans Pelicans, controlling Milwaukee’s next three draft picks, are considered a key potential trade partner amid talks of a three-team deal involving prospects like Duke’s Cooper Flagg.
- Last season, Antetokounmpo posted averages of just over 30 points, nearly 12 rebounds, and about 6.5 assists per game, while reports indicate that discussions between the Bucks and his representatives regarding his future are planned for the upcoming offseason.
- The outcome of these talks and potential trades could reshape Milwaukee’s roster and influence the league, especially given Antetokounmpo’s contract through 2028 and player option extension possibility.
