There have been numerous reports about Antetokounmpo watching things from afar in Greece. A new report suggests that this saga might not be ending anytime soon, and might drag on for a few months. According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelbourne, this situation might not be resolved until August or September. “My sense is just from conversations around the league, I don’t think anything will be decided on his end until August, September, because big deals or anything like that, whether he goes or stays, that kind of decision won’t come until later in the summer.”

Giannis has been the best player in the East consistently for the last decade and if you’re the Bucks you do EVERYTHING in your power like they’ve been doing to keep him in Milwaukee!!! Myles Turner signing was a great signing for the Bucks.

“My concern for [the Bucks’] forthcoming pitch to Giannis to wanna be there long term is they didn’t move the needle enough.”

More on this storyline
Curry indicates that it’ll ultimately be up to Antetokounmpo on where he wants to play moving forward. In other words, the Bucks will only trade him if the star forward desires a move. “Giannis can say, ‘I enjoyed my time here, let’s do what’s best for me and the franchise.’ Those are conversations I’m sure they’re having internally, but me as an outsider looking in, no way I’m giving him up,” says Curry. “I’m finding pieces to build around Giannis while he’s still the player that he is and try to get out of the Eastern Conference and win another title.” -via sportsboom.com / July 3, 2025
Dell Curry is best known for his Charlotte Hornets tenure but actually spent a year with the Bucks during the 1998-99 season. The 61-year-old does not believe the Bucks are going to allow Antetokounmpo to walk. “If I’m a Milwaukee franchise or the fans, I’m not letting Giannis Antetokounmpo leave under any circumstance,” says Curry in a one-on-one interview. “He is a generational talent and a proven winner. I’m not letting him walk out the door. As any NBA team, you’re gonna pick up the phone and answer calls and see what’s out there, see if anybody wants to give you the house for him. But that’d be a hard decision to make on your own,” he told SportsBoom.com. -via sportsboom.com / July 3, 2025
Jorge Sierra: Most consecutive seasons averaging 10-plus rebounds 10: Rudy Gobert 8: Giannis Antetokounmpo 7: DEANDRE AYTON, Nikola Vucevic So there’s that. -via Twitter @hoopshype / July 2, 2025
