It was a tough playoff exit for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks last season. The Bucks were the number one seed in the Eastern Conference but had to face embarrassment at the hands of Jimmy Butler and the rest of the Miami Heat squad. The Bucks lost in the first round, 4-1. And now, the future of their superstar player with the team seems rather bleak.

Giannis Antetokounmpo made a bold statement about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, that would obviously put the fear in Bucks fans but this NBA analyst seems to agree with the Greek Freak and his vision for the future.

Nick Wright went on to talk about how even if the Bucks won another title, he would still want Giannis Antetokounmpo to keep his options open. And for him to not sign an extension with the Milwaukee Bucks.

During the show, Wright even said, ?They want a title. They probably could have won another one if not for an injury here or there. And they might win this year. They might very well be my pick to win this year. I don’t know but if you’re talking about over the next five years. I doubt the best place for him is Milwaukee.?
