Bucks Want Giannis Future Set Before Draft

Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam wants Giannis Antetokounmpo's future resolved before next month's NBA draft, allowing the team to plan accordingly.

Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam stated that Antetokounmpo's situation should be settled before the June 23 draft. "I just think before the draft is a natural time," Haslam said, explaining that if Giannis is traded, the team needs assets, but if he stays, they'll build differently.

Antetokounmpo expressed excitement about new coach Taylor Jenkins, calling him "an incredible person" and "an incredible coach," but was non-committal when asked about playing for him, simply saying "We'll see." With just one year remaining on his contract, Antetokounmpo holds significant leverage in any negotiations. mchezo.life
