There is still chatter about Giannis Antetokounmpo leaving the Milwaukee Bucks this summer, but a lot of insiders now agree that he will likely remain with his team.
But Antetokounmpo staying with Milwaukee doesn’t mean other changes aren’t coming.
In fact, it sounds like Brook Lopez will be on the move in the offseason.
“That said, I’m not expecting the roster to look the way it does now. The team is likely to retain Kevin Porter Jr. and most everyone I’ve spoken to assume Brook Lopez is gone. Lopez might be one of the bigger names on the market,” wrote Hardwood Paroxysm, via NBACentral.
Brook Lopez is likely to leave the Milwaukee Bucks in free agency, per @HPbasketball

Lopez has been playing in the NBA for 16 years, averaging 15.9 points and 6.1 rebounds during that time.
He is being compared to Al Horford, an aged and veteran big man who can still chip in a lot.
Despite his age, Lopez averaged 13.0 points and 5.0 rebounds and participated in 80 games.
Plus, he was still playing 31.8 minutes per game.
Yes, those numbers will likely go down in the seasons ahead as he gets closer to 40 years old, but Lopez is still producing a solid stat line for his age.
A number of teams might be interested in signing him if the price is right.
There are multiple squads that need the frontcourt production that Lopez can bring.
As for the Bucks, they are still hoping to make changes even if Antetokounmpo sticks around.
They aren’t happy with their repeated troubles in the playoffs and are ready to make a pivot, even if it’s not a major one.
Lopez has been with the Bucks for seven seasons, but it looks like he is about ready to pack his bags and head somewhere else.
