The Milwaukee Bucks made a surprising move on Tuesday in signing Myles Turner while also cutting ties with Damian Lillard. Giannis Antetokounmpo took notice of the transaction as he continues to evaluate his status with the Bucks. Antetokounmpo plans to continue to evaluating any additional moves the team makes. The Bucks could still trade a future first-round pick in either 2031 or 2032 as they search for a new point guard.
“I’m told Giannis Antetokounmpo will continue to evaluate everything-the entire offseason,” said Shams Charania on Tuesday’s NBA Today Free Agency Special. “He took notice of this move today, no doubt, but sources tell me he will evaluate more than just one day. At the end of the offseason, Giannis Antetokounmpo will ask himself-he’ll look in the mirror and look around him and ask the question: ‘Can I win a second championship with this team as currently constructed?’
“And the answer to that question faces and looms Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Bucks, and Milwaukee.”
Antetokounmpo, who had another top-3 MVP finish in 2024-25, has two additional seasons remaining on his contract.
