According to Brian Windhorst, the NBA -OffSeason after Lillard injury can be able to run away from Giannis in the future

The Milwaukee Bucks are still alive in the NBA playoffs, but since Damian Lillard runs out with torn Achilles for the season, a lot of attention is now changing towards a crucial low season.

One of the biggest storylines in this off -season will be Giannis Antetocounmpo's future in Milwaukee. Brian Windhorst of ESPN said that everything the star decides will not only affect the goats, but also the entire NBA.

“Giannis indicates that he wants to stay and stay a money, or encounters Giannis that he might want to look around,” said Windhorst NBA today (6:30 a.m.). “If the answer B is B, the entire NBA new season will depend on it. I don't think a team can take a big step until they find out what Giannis prefer.”

Antetocounmpo is contracted with a player option before the 2027-28 season in the 2026-27 season, but in recent years it seems to be a real way in Milwaukee how things have dropped in Milwaukee.

Antetocounmpo is still 30 years old and in the bloom of his career. If he would request a trade, it is fair to assume that almost every team in the league brings an offer.

Antetocounmpo was in his entire career in the entire career, the organization revived and led it to a championship in 2021. Despite his past success, Milwaukee has been struggling since then and is now about to excretion in the first round.

With the possibility that Lillard missed the entire 2025-26 season, Antetokounmpo could be the best step for him and join a team in this low season.

Trading with Antetocounmpo could also be the best option for the goats, even if this means to separate from one of the best players in franchise history. Milwaukee is poorly prepared for a future without an antetocounmpo, and it could have a start to reconstruction by taking up some assets through a trade.
