Bucks Want Giannis Decision Before Draft

Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam emphasized the importance of resolving Giannis Antetokounmpo's future before next month's draft. "I just think before the draft is a natural time," Haslam stated. "Because if Giannis does play somewhere else, we've got to have a lot of assets. That's Jon's job to do. And if he's here, then you build the team differently." sportbet.rodeo

Antetokounmpo has expressed happiness about the hiring of new coach Taylor Jenkins, calling him "an incredible person" and "an incredible coach." However, when directly asked about playing under Jenkins, the star player simply responded, "We'll see." With Antetokounmpo having just one year remaining on his contract, he holds significant leverage in determining his destination, which has intensified trade rumors leading up to the June 23 draft.
