What is going on in this offseason? Unexpected departures, thrilling movement, and unpredictability have started just weeks after the Thunder’s championship conquest. But there’s still nothing on the biggest front. What will Giannis Antetokounmpo do about his situation in Milwaukee? The Greek Freak is reportedly willing to explore his options but hasn’t sent a formal request.

So what is he doing all this time? Well, it seems even one of the most prolific NBA stars is having a hard time keeping track of the extensive offseason activity prevalent in the NBA right now. And he shared his thoughts in the most Giannis Antetokounmpo way possible.

The two-time MVP took to Twitter to give an update on how he is dealing with the offseason. Captioned “Mood”, it featured the time he was celebrating a title with the Bucks. Fresh off a champagne shower at that point and having won the ultimate, it was hard for Antetokounmpo to digest what was going on.

That’s just how he is feeling right now. “I don’t know what’s going on right now, man,” the photo read.

 

It seems like nobody really knows. Who would have thought Nickeil Alexander-Walker would move to Atlanta, or a Kevin Durant trade would happen so soon? Focusing on Milwaukee, they lost center Brook Lopez, who signed a two-year deal with the Clippers. It really looked it they were one of the handful of teams not looking to make any groundbreaking additions to their squad.

Yes, they did re-sign from marquee names to solidify their corner. However, there was nothing to appease Giannis Antetokounmpo. Well, until now. The Bucks needed some firepower with Damian Lillard out for most of the season. And they have done so by grabbing one of the players who just made it to the NBA Finals.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Giannis Antetokounmpo's time in Milwaukee coming to an end, or will the Bucks make a bold move?

The Bucks finally make a major addition

This offseason is largely going to focus on the Milwaukee Bucks. Giannis Antetokounmpo, still silent, is carefully watching every maneuver from the franchise. Thus far, there was not much to react to. But today is full of news for the Deers. A lot of happening, and their fans can finally celebrate a major arrival to town.

In a surprise move, the Pacers’ Myles Turner has decided to join the Bucks, the arch-rivals to the Pacers. He has signed a four-year $107 million deal, according to Charania. The Pacers center played a pivotal role in Indiana’s first final in 25 years. Hence, it’s sheer shock that surrounds this move. But to the Bucks, it’s a start.

With Lillard out for the next season, they made a major call. The Bucks decided to waive the stellar guard to create salary to build their roster. Turner’s acquisition gives them a young replacement for Lopez. Turner is coming off shooting a career-high 39.6% from three while averaging two blocks per game. It’s a great base to build around, retaining a strong frontcourt after a woeful season.

But there’s still a lot more to address. With Damian Lillard officially out of the picture, Milwaukee still needs somebody to assist Giannis Antetokounmpo. A secondary scoring option or another high-profile guard could help tremendously. But working out the financials of such a deal won’t be easy for the franchise.
