“I was told the Bucks made contact with Giannis Antetokounmpo early as this morning, and sources relayed to me that a meeting is expected to be scheduled for mid next week,” said Haynes on the episode of Haynes Briefs.
“This is where Giannis is going to have the chance to speak with Bucks brass and talk about the direction of the team.”
The conversation comes at a key moment for Milwaukee. With roster questions looming and major decisions on the horizon, the team’s future may hinge on how aligned they are with Giannis’ goals.
“Knowing Giannis personally, one of the toughest competitors we have in this league. A guy who has great ambition. He wants multiple championships,” Haynes added. “That’s all he wants to do. Is be put in a position where he can play alongside a team that has a chance to fight for a title. This is gonna be a very very crucial meeting next week.”
This postseason Bucks fell out of competition after the first-round loss to the Indiana Pacers 4-1. In those five games, Giannis put up elite numbers of 33.0 points, 15.4 rebounds, and 6.6 assists per game.
