This isn’t the first time there has been a lot of speculation about Antetokounmpo and his Bucks.
A few years ago, there were tons of rumors about him being unhappy with Milwaukee’s front office and contemplating a change.
Then the Bucks secured Damian Lillard in a blockbuster deal and excitement returned to the Bucks.
Since then, the team has made headlines for coaching changes, injuries, and missed chances in the playoffs.
And as their struggles continued, the whispers of Antetkounmpo leaving returned.
The Knicks have always been a team allegedly tied to Antetokounmpo and they remain the frontrunners to get him if he leaves the Bucks.
But a lot has to happen for Antetokounmpo to depart, and Milwaukee fans shouldn’t be too afraid yet.
Still, they want the rest of this season to go very well for their team so rumors about their favorite player go away.
