Shams Charania of ESPN reported on May 12 that Giannis Antetokounmpo is open-minded about leaving the Milwaukee Bucks this offseason.
The Bucks have won only one postseason series since winning the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns in six games.
Milwaukee may not be a contender next season since Damian Lillard could miss every game recovering from his left Achilles tendon tear.
The Bucks lost to the Indiana Pacers in the first round of this year's playoffs in five games. Lillard, who turns 35 in July, tore his left Achilles tendon in Game 4.
If Antetokounmpo requests a trade from the Bucks this offseason, a legendary franchise is the betting favorite to land the future Hall of Famer.
