Bucks Rumors: Giannis Antetokounmpo’s NBA Decision Seems Obvious After Doc Rivers’ EuroBasket Visit

“It’s so ridiculous. And I’ve heard all these reports, you hear all this stuff but you don’t like it when you hear it because you know it’s not true, Bill” said Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers when addressing the trade rumors revolving around Giannis Antetokounmpo. Recent reports from league sources have claimed that Giannis will remain in Milwaukee “valuing continuity and family comfort”. Despite this, the speculation about him leaving the Bucks have not gone away, with reporters like Andy Bailey speculating on potential trade proposals. While Giannis has not publicly highlighted his decision, or thought process, the presence of certain people at the player’s recent EuroBasket 2025 game raises hopes for Bucks fans.
