Bucks get excellent news on Giannis Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee image

The Milwaukee Bucks continue to do whatever it takes to make Giannis Antetokounmpo content with his current situation. Hopefully, for Bucks fans and the front office, they did enough by signing Myles Turner to make him happy. 

The Bucks will have some other tough decisions to make throughout the offseason, as John Horst is typically one of the more aggressive general managers in the league, continually seeking ways to improve in multiple areas. 

Some believe that Antetokounmpo could still be traded, but the New York Post recently examined the situation and noted that the most likely scenario is for him to return to Milwaukee for at least the next season. 

“Most signs point to the Greek Freak remaining with the Bucks next season. He’s played his entire career in Milwaukee, which drafted him 15th overall in 2013. However, in the aftermath of the Bucks’ third straight first-round playoff exit in April, some suspected Antetokounmpo would request a trade,” they wrote.

It's important to remember here that until Antetokounmpo requests a trade, there isn't much to be said about him leaving.

The two-time MVP, NBA champion, Finals MVP, and much more, has never suggested that he wants to leave Milwaukee. 

However, due to the Bucks' recent first-round exits, and even prior to that, the media has continued to suggest that he wants out. He's never shown that, and it's good to hear the Post admit that.

However, as the Post had hoped, and will continue to, if Antetokounmpo is ever traded, they’d love the New York Knicks to acquire him, as he’d bring plenty to the organization and media in New York City.
