If LeBron James, Kevin Durant or Anthony Davis ever want to join Giannis Antetokounmpo with the Milwaukee Bucks, hey, they have a deal.
That comes straight from The Greek Freak himself.
“This is a statement that I have never made before. If LeBron and Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis came to Milwaukee I would be happy,” Antetokounmpo told Cosmote TV in his native Greece. “I am not interested if I am the top, second or third name, OK? I just want to win.”
The Bucks are in a bit of a pickle with the back -to-back NBA MVP and reigning Defensive Player of the Year. He is eligible to become a free agent at the end of the season. He is eligible to sign a supermax contract extension right now.
Where he goes, nobody knows.
Bucks general manager Jon Horst has tried to get some help for a team that keeps finishing with the best regular-season records … then goes nowhere notable in the postseason. One of the offseason moves included landing veteran guard Jrue Holiday in a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans.
But in today’s NBA, you generally need a second superstar before you start talking titles.
“The Bucks asked for my opinion on this year’s roster,” Antetokounmpo said. “I wanna focus on playing basketball, on how to become a better player. If LeBron, AD or Durant would join me in Milwaukee, I would be fine.”
Now, none of those three are joining the Bucks anytime soon. It doesn’t take an NBA savant to figure that out. But if you’re Antetokounmpo, it’s not a bad message to send in a contract year.
He wants to win and he apparently wants to win in Milwaukee. Stay tuned.
