Fears have turned into reality, and the Milwaukee Bucks ended their 2024-25 NBA run. Pushing into OT on Tuesday, Giannis Antetokounmpo & Co. had one vision: Do not lose this game. However, things never go as planned in this league. Thus, losing 118-119 to the Indiana Pacers and ending their Playoffs with a 1-3 record, the Bucks bid a fiery farewell. But now that their season and championship dreams are officially over, all eyes are on the Greek Freak. Do you know why?

Giannis chipped in 30 points, 20 rebounds, and 13 assists on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Milwaukee’s meltdown was more than embarrassing—it was a brutal reality check. They blew a 7-point lead and a staggering 97.9% win probability in just 40 seconds. Worse? They did it in overtime. Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t just losing games—he’s losing prime years on a team with a window slammed shut. So, the question arises, once again, will the 30-year-old 2x MVP stay or leave?

Meanwhile, Shams Charania has reported that Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks will meet after the season to discuss his future and the team’s direction. At the same time, the 6’11” power forward didn’t sugarcoat anything in the past.

He made it clear to The Athletic’s Sam Amick: “If we don’t win a championship, I might get traded. Yeah, this is the job we live. This is the world we’re living in. It’s everybody.” His message? Winning is the only goal. And as he put it himself, “At the end of the day, I am a winner. I want to be a winner. Contracts, fame, status, comfort zone does not matter to me.”

This year, Antetokounmpo is the third-favorite candidate in the MVP race. With an average of 30.1 ppg, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 60.1 FG%, he’s been a sight to behold on the court. Therefore, if Giannis truly makes it to the trade market this offseason, his demands would skyrocket. And this could lead to troubles for stars like Kevin Durant, who might not be the most favorable option compared to Giannis.

Meanwhile, experts in the sport have already started their predictions about Giannis’s next landing spot. After contributing to the Bucks for 12 years, the Greek Freak might be ready to move on; if not, he might truly be wasting his prime time.

Which teams could become the next home for Giannis Antetokounmpo?

According to NBA legend Kendrick  Perkins, Giannis Antetokounmpo would be the perfect candidate for the Memphis Grizzlies or the Detroit Pistons. “I’m looking at two spots. If I’m Giannis, I’m looking at Detroit with Cade Cunningham, and I’m looking at the Memphis Grizzlies with Ja Morant,” Big Perks announced on Rod Trippin’.

Detroit just cracked the postseason code—now it’s time to break the ceiling. Pairing Cade Cunningham, who averaged 26.1 points, 9.1 assists, and 6.1 rebounds, with Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 30.4 points, 11.9 boards, and 6.5 assists per game, it’s just bold and lethal. Cade crafts plays with poise; Giannis punishes defenses with power. Meanwhile, Memphis needs a spark—Ja Morant and Giannis could be the fire. With Morant’s 25.1 PPG, 8.1 APG, and 5.6 RPG paired with Giannis’ glorious stats, the duo screams dominance.

Meanwhile, for Bill Simmons, the San Antonio Spurs, the Houston Rockets, and the New York Knicks look pretty enticing as Antetokounmpo’s next home. Antetokounmpo with Wembanyama? A defensive nightmare. The Spurs need another piece, and if Giannis is available, you take the risk. Moreover, the Knicks are beyond “just” winning a series—they need a title, and Giannis alongside Brunson and Towns could get them there. As for Houston, Antetokounmpo is the missing star they need to become a true contender with Sengun and Thompson.

Thus, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future is the NBA’s most intriguing question. With the Bucks’ championship window closed, teams like Memphis, Detroit, San Antonio, and New York could be his next home. Whether he stays or leaves, one thing is certain—his next move could reshape the entire league. The countdown to his decision has begun.
