Still looking for a new title with the Bucks, Giannis Antetokounmpo knows he has no room for error in Milwaukee. A trade could happen at any time according to him, which is surprising after the rumor sending him to the Warriors.
With Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton at his side, Giannis Antetokounmpo remains convinced he has a chance to win the title NBA. It won’t be easy when we see the competition in the East, with Boston, New York, Miami or Philadelphia, but the Bucks are still considered favorites. And this despite obvious pressure.
An upcoming trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo?
But with the Greek Freak in the squad, Milwaukee wants to hit hard and dreams of winning this championship again. It is also the dream ofAntetokounmpoeven if he knows that everything can go very quickly in this league. According to him, a trade is even possible if the performances are not there, as he confided to The Athletic recently.
Giannis Antetokounmpo : “Yeah, if we didn’t win the championship, I might get traded. This is the work we do. This is the world we live in. This is valid for everyone. At any point, if you don’t succeed, it could be over for us. If you don’t do a good enough job, you’re out. »
To understand clearly, Giannis is not thinking of requesting his trade, but believes that the Bucks will want to get rid of him if success is not there. An astonishing release when we know that Milwaukee has no desire to part with it, even if the franchise loses over the next 2/3 years. The Greek is far too precious to think of such a scenario.
It’s even more surprising when we know that rumors sending him to the Warriors emerged a few weeks ago. The Californian franchise dreams of recruiting Giannis, who must pray that the Bucks have a series of defeats today. Even X fans aren’t convinced.
@MVPSwoosh : “He will die on the court before the Bucks decide to voluntarily trade him. »
@Just_KWal : “Someone can explain to Giannis that players in the top 5 of the league are traded because they ask for a trade, not because they don’t win the title”
@kawhi_ring : “The Bucks have no reason to trade him”
@Harden4threee : “The last time he talked like that, they traded for Jrue and they won the NBA championship”
Giannis Antetokounmpo is convinced he will be traded if the Bucks miss the title again. A surprising statement for one of the best players in the league, and one who is clearly unaware of his status in the NBA.
