Shams Charania got on the never of Milwaukee Bucks fans again after indicating that Giannis Antetokounmpo is still entertaining the possibility of leaving the team.
Shams Charania X
Heads of the organization already emphasized how their relationship remains strong and that they are moving forward with the Greek Freak still at the center of everything.
President Peter Feigin even said that the rumors surrounding their superstar only make them laugh behind closed doors.
“It think we kind of fun, little joy, in everybody else thinking they know what’s going on and what the clickbait is,” he said.
That’s not enough for Charania as he came up with another shallow and empty update about Giannis.

“Sources tell me there is nothing set in stone about whether Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to stay in Milwaukee or whether he wants to leave [and go] elsewhere,” Charania said on his show ESPN’s First Take.
Shams has been reporting every month that Giannis is still thinking of leaving.

BREAKING NEWS:
Giannis will evaluate his future everyday for the rest of his life. His future also won’t be set in stone since it hasn’t happened yet.

Jake Weinbach of ESPN and FanSide thinks Charania has no close source at all with his reporting.
“There’s been strong indicators all summer that GA remains committed to Milwaukee,” he wrote on X.
It’s possible that this is a ploit of Giannis’ reps to build pressure on Milwaukee, but the source feeding Shams is certainly not from Antetokounmpo himself or anyone within the Bucks organization.
