The longer Giannis Antetokounmpo takes to make a decision, the more the rumors spread. For now, all we know is that he and the Bucks are gonna have a chit-chat once the season is over. But is he committed for some more time? Well, the Bucks star has an open mind about the exit, which isn’t good news for Milwaukee. So, which teams are on the lookout? There are two that have propped up the ladder recently. The main one being the Mavericks after they hit the jackpot in the Draft Lottery.
The Mavs defied the odds, winning despite having just a 1.8% chance to get the No. 1 pick. And you’ve been living under a rock if you don’t believe Cooper Flagg to be the No. 1 pick this draft. For a long-term future, they’re justified in putting all their money on a kid with brimming potential. But Nico Harrison isn’t alien to making controversial trades. In this scenario, they’d be prioritizing short-term successes by trading Cooper Flagg to the Bucks, getting prime Giannis, and capitalizing on his class with Kyrie Irving to support.
“The future to me is three to four years from now. Ten years from now, I don’t know. They probably bury me and [Jason Kidd] by then. Or we bury ourselves,” said Harrison after the lottery. This should give you a rough idea of what he’s prioritizing.
