Giannis Antetokounmpo will hit the 2021 offseason as an unrestricted free agent unless he signs a supermax extension with the Milwaukee Bucks next summer. The “Greek Freak” loves playing for Milwaukee and the player’s agent admitted that he could see his client staying with the Bucks forever.
This, however, doesn’t rule out a potential change of scenery if Giannis feels that’s what he needs.
“Yeah, I think so,” Giannis’ agent Alex Saratsis said in an interview with TMJ4 News when asked if he could see Giannis staying with one team for his whole career. “Obviously everybody talks about his impending free agency, and I think everything is open,” Saratsis said. “I think he’s someone who could easily say, ‘I’d like to be in Milwaukee my entire career.’ I think he’s also someone who, depending on how the team does, could say, ‘I need a change.’ But for him, staying is absolutely a viable option.”
Antetokoumpo, who became a father recently, will be making his fourth All-Star Game appearance Sunday (16/2). It will be the second straight year in which he’s one of the two captains. The reigning MVP currently averages 30.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists while the Bucks stand at a league-best 46-8 record.
