Giannis Antetokounmpo Likely Stays Milwaukee Bucks Amid Knicks Trade Speculation

Giannis Antetokounmpo has fueled widespread speculation about his NBA future following the Milwaukee Bucks' early playoff exit, but recent comments suggest he is likely to remain with the Bucks. In a livestream with IShowSpeed, Antetokounmpo stated he will "probably" stay in Milwaukee, expressing love for the city, though he did not completely rule out leaving. He explicitly dismissed interest in playing for New York's Knicks or Nets, citing concerns such as high taxes, despite both teams reportedly courting him. Antetokounmpo has spent his entire career with the Bucks, where he has achieved significant accolades including two MVP awards and an NBA championship. While the Bucks have made roster changes, including waiving Damian Lillard — a move that reportedly upset Antetokounmpo — he remains focused on his legacy in Milwaukee. Teams including the Knicks and Nets continue to pursue him, but his current stance indicates a preference to stay put for now.
