If the Bucks don't make the Finals this season, they may have a Cleveland/LeBron situation on their hands and just interested what everyone thinks Giannis will do or what the Bucks will do if he turns down a supermax contract.

I feel like he stays, he seems connected and loyal to Milwaukee.
If he decided to go and I had to guess where, I'd pick Toronto.

Did Durant go to LAL ???

gouki88 got it first :D

I think he resigns with the Bucks (unless they really f*** it up)
but ask for a trade if they won't win it all in the first 2 years

The Boston Celtics....who else??

Dude has always come across to me as a straight shooter....a LEADER, not  Follower.....

He has reportedly refused to work out with LeBron and others, right?

https://lebronwire.usatoday.com/2018/12/08/giannis-antetokounmpo-lebron-james-kevin-durant-other-players/

Quote
During the summer, All-Stars such as Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard engaged in workouts with LeBron James at UCLA. While other elite players like Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, James Harden, and other elite caliber players have participated in workouts with Carmelo Anthony over the summer in at the Lifetime Athletic Sky gym in New York City.

Meanwhile, Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo declined opportunities to work out alongside the likes of James and Anthony. The 24-year-old native from Greece carries an old-school mindset that doesn’t match the overly friendly culture of today’s NBA
.

Quote
"I can’t work out with you in the summer and then play you in a few months,” Antetokounmpo said. “It feels weird. It doesn’t feel right with me. Like other players, it’s cool for other players, but I don’t. I don’t want to. Other guys do it.”

“I hate it when…” Antetokounmpo said while doing a mock pose for a picture. “I hate that. I don’t want [opponents] to see me to be buddy-buddy with me
.

Sounds almost KG-Like, to me........

Sounds like someone who is Blue Collar with a HOF-type game....seems like he has Celtic DNA in him.

If Ad chose LAL then it is fitting that Greek Freak chooses BOSTON - if it comes to that.

Yeah, that would be my guess too. I believe he'll re-sign with the Bucks.

If he leaves, I could see him going to Dallas. Him and Luka would dominate the league for years to come.

Imo, Giannis + Luka > Shaq + Kobe

I don't see Giannis going to Dallas. Dallas have the best offer with Luka and Porzingis but I don't think Giannis will want to play alongside so much star power.

Toronto is a legit option if Masai Ujiri stays. Giannis would have Siakam as a running mate and some good support players around them.

New York is too much of a train wreck. Atlanta is having a terrible season. That will likely kill their chances.

Maybe Miami. They got a lot to offer. Jimmy Butler. Bam. Lots of shooters. Strong coaching and front office.

I don't see Giannis going to Boston for similar reasons as Dallas.

Thing is, Giannis, Luka and Porzingis are all from Europe. Porzingis visited Giannis in Greece a couple of years ago. Here's Giannis hooping with Porzingis in downtown Athens!

I could see the 3 of them teaming up, the way LeBron teamed up with Wade and Bosh.
