Giannis Antetokounmpo poured his heart into the Milwaukee Bucks’ campaign this season. Despite his best efforts, the team failed to make a deep playoff run and was eliminated in the first round once again.
Now, after spending 12 seasons with the franchise, questions are beginning to surface about Giannis’ long-term future in Milwaukee. On Saturday, NBA insider Chris Haynes shared that a crucial meeting between Giannis and Bucks executives is set to take place in the coming days.
“I was told the Bucks made contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo earlier this morning and sources relate to me that a meeting is expected to be scheduled for mid-next week. This is where Giannis is going to have the chance to speak with Bucks brass and talk about the direction of the team. This is going to be a very, very crucial meeting next week,” Haynes reported.

“Yes, there is a package that the Warriors could use. They have some future draft picks. They have interesting young players. Like last year, Brandon Podziemski was off limits. Who knows if that’s going to be the case this year? But they can’t win a bidding war,” Windhorst noted.
Reportedly, Giannis was one of the few non-Warriors players seen at Stephen Curry’s private event in San Francisco during All-Star Weekend. This appearance has sparked further curiosity about his connections and interest in potentially joining forces with the Warriors.
