Start the conversation

Giannis Antetokounmpo, more than likely, won’t be traded.

The Bucks will do what they can to make sure he stays in Milwaukee, and if we’re honest, they’re only going to deal their young star if he wants to be traded. You don’t deal a two-time MVP if he’s content.

Giannis, this past season, averaged 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game. The Defensive Player of the Year as well, Giannis also added 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game. He was absolutely dominant this last season.

Only 25, Giannis’ future is in his own hands. He determines what to do with it, and if he wants out, he could venture to Golden State. It’s Golden State who needs to press Milwaukee, and they need to get that edge and start the conversation.
