A truly strange and difficult situation lies ahead for the Milwaukee Bucks, who have been focused all season on the decision of Giannis Antetokounmpo. After the Greek player surprised everyone by staying with the team, nothing can be taken for granted, and the Wisconsin team now faces a major uncertainty.

The status of the Greek player as a leader and NBA star on and off the court has been severely affected this season. His handling of the possibility of hitting the market has been disastrous, and now both Milwaukee Bucks and he find themselves in a precarious situation. Antetokounmpo has reaffirmed his desire to play and push for a play-in spot, which is only 1.5 games away, but many voices within the franchise believe that would be shooting themselves in the foot.

It is widely believed that Giannis Antetokounmpo will not accept any contract extension offer, no matter how lucrative it may be, leading many to consider tanking as a better option to secure a higher position in the Draft. Rebuilding would be the main objective if the Greek player leaves, and they do not believe that even a strong finish to the season and a postseason berth would convince Antetokounmpo to stay with the team.
