Funny, Bucks Portis said Antetokounmpo would stay in the team. Antetokounmpo: Don t worry about me, you ll leave or stay

Giannis Antetokounmpo made a joke with Bobby Portis after he predicted that the superstar would stay in Milwaukee. The Milwaukee Bucks are about to usher in a fascinating offseason, and they must find ways to return to the championship battle or try to reclaim some of the assets lost in the Damian Lillard trade.

At present, the Bucks are in a dilemma. As long as Giannis Antetokounmpo is still there, they can win every year, but they are still a step or two away from the real championship contender. Now, the Bucks have no assets to improve, and Lillard will miss most of the games next season due to a torn Achilles tendon.

Therefore, before the offseason, all the hot discussions were focused on whether Antetokounmpo would apply for a deal. If he wants to have a chance to win the championship in the near future, the deal is likely to be his only way out.

Bucks forward Bobby Portis recently said he believed Giannis would stay in Milwaukee and said Giannis was “full of green blood” and did not want to leave. Antetokounmpo responded to the message on Instagram.

"Don't worry about me!" Antetokounmpo wrote. "Bobby, what are you doing? Are you staying or leaving?!"

There are many competitive teams with assets to splurge during the offseason, and if the superstar finally wants to leave, the Bucks may be tempted to send him to the Western Conference. The Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder are the top two teams in the Western Conference in the regular season, but they can also be said to be the most well-established team in the West, with the opportunity to trade for the two-time MVP.

Antetokounmpo reportedly accepted the deal for the first time, but no final decision has been made. However, the Bucks are clearly in trouble after losing to the Indiana Pacers in the first five games of the playoffs. Lillard's injury will affect the trend of next season, so the 30-year-old needs to think a lot before a critical offseason.
