Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will meet in the coming week to discuss the future of the team and to which the front can go against the Indiana Pacers after a playoff defeat in the first round.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, the Bucks contacted Antetocounmpo on Saturday to record the meeting. The conversation will be “very, very crucial” in Haynes' words “, since the team will apparently explain to his star player whether the ambition is to pursue another NBA championship in the near future.

The beginning of a reconstruction process seems to be more likely with Damian Lillard that she will probably miss the next season after being updated to maintain the Bucks during the Bucks's playoff defeat. Adding new and younger talents to the squad will not be easy, since Milwaukee only has a first selection in the first round in 2031.

Center Brook Lopez is 37 and Bobby Portis 30th Khris Middleton (33) was acted against the somewhat younger Kyle Kuzma, but the eight -year -old veteran will be 30 years old next season. Kuzma also had no major impact on joining the Bucks, highlighted by the publication of a box points with zero counting statistics in game 1 of Milwaukees Matchup with Indiana.

This leaves the bucks little choice as to exchange their most valuable capital to start a reconstruction. Antetokounmpo will be 31 in the next season and would rather play for another NBA title instead of spending the remaining years of his career to regain Milwaukee in the Eastern Conference.

Antetokounmpo is said to be open to the idea of ​​ending his NBA career with another team and possibly ending. He would arouse great interest in the trading market, and the NBA observers have associated him with several playoff and championship candidates, including the San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors.

The two-time NBA MVP will be under contract for three years, including a player option for 2027-28, which would mean that a team who acts with Antetocounmpo would bring him to a long-term persecution of a championship.

In addition to the trade speculations, Antetocounmpos Reaction to a question about his favorite NBA cities will be during an informal Q&A from Saturday evening, which he held on X with fans. Asked which cities make him happiest, he replied “Florida Cities”. He also said that New York was his favorite place to play on the street.

A trade in the Knicks seems to be very unlikely, considering that the team has already made several offers in the last two seasons and that they have brought Karl-Anthony cities, Mikal Bridges and OG anunoby. New York can win an NBA title without an antetocounmpo because on Wednesday he starts the Pacers with the final of the Eastern Conference.

The Miami Heat has little to offer in a deal, and if you act stars like Tyler Herro or Bam Adebayo, the team would not be able to win a championship with Antetocounmpo. This also applies to the Brooklyn networks, although they have to offer Draft picks. The Orlando Magic has a young core that is based on Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, but Milwaukee would certainly want one of these players in return, which probably makes trade talks a non -starter.

However, it seems to be increasingly clear that something will happen with Antetocounmpo and that the goats can start this process after the meeting of the next week.
