The Milwaukee Bucks, led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, are entering the 2023 NBA playoffs in sublime form. However, the past few weeks haven’t been ideal for the team and their superstar player. A few days ago, Antetokounmpo’s brother came under some heavy scrutiny following nepotism shouts. Moreover, Giannis himself opened up about some personal problems he faced in 2020 which almost compelled him to retire. Amidst all this, a concerning new update has injected an air of uncertainty in the Bucks camp.

The Bucks currently have the best record in the NBA with 58 wins and 24 losses. Such a brilliant performance by the Milwaukee side has propelled the Greek Freak into MVP contention once again. However, there is a change of ownership happening in the Bucks organization, which may disrupt the order in paradise.

NBA fans speculate the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo after change in ownership

The Milwaukee Bucks have been one of the most successful teams in the NBA for the past few seasons. After all, they have Giannis Antetokounmpo to lead them. However, it seems like the Bucks and the Greek Freak could have missed out on winning the 2021 NBA championship.

Recently, Antetokounmpo opened up about his mental health problems, especially in 2020. Just days after he had signed a $228.2 million five-year deal with the team, the two-time MVP had a serious conversation with the front office. It wasn’t just any other conversation. In fact, Giannis seriously considered retiring!

“I had that conversation – yes – with the front office. And, you know, very normally, everybody is looking at me like I was crazy”, said Antetokounmpo.

Meanwhile, days after the 28-year-old’s shocking revelation, the Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry has reportedly sold his stake in the franchise to Jimmy Haslam and Haslam Sports Group, the owner of the NFL side Cleveland Browns.

The $3.5 billion handover was first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. With this major update doing rounds of the internet, NBA fans have already started to speculate Antetokounmpo’s future with the organization.

Interestingly, fans already have lined up some potential trades which might materialize after the takeover.

As the above reactions suggest, fans certainly are not happy with the change in ownership. Haslam’s allegiance with Cleveland seems to be the biggest issue concerning the fans.

As for Giannis and his team, they await their first-round opponents. Their opponents will be either the Chicago Bulls or the Miami Heat as they face off against each other in the play-in tournament. The winner of the game advances as the 8th seed.
