The future of Giannis Antetokounmpo is the talk of the town prior to the 2020 free agency. Giannis’ 2020 postseason run ignited a plethora of rumors surrounding his future with the Milwaukee Bucks.

However, he has been rejecting all presumptions. In fact, in his 2020 MVP speech, Giannis hinted that he is ready to commit long term if the franchise supports him. But regardless of his refusal to these rumors, there is no end to them.

It seems as though Giannis has subtly put the rumors to bed once again via his Twitter account.

However, with this reply, it seems he is ready to commit with the Bucks for at least one more season.

Even in the 2020 playoffs, they crumbled in front of the Miami Heat in just five games. Additionally, the Heat completely figured out Giannis and stopped him from making a difference in critical points of the game.

Apart from Giannis, the Bucks as a whole appear to be a piece or two away from becoming the NBA champions. But they are on the clock, as their cornerstone player could leave after next season if they fail to make any strides in the playoffs.
