Giannis Antetokounmpo looks like an entirely different person right now. Heâs threatening the Milwaukee Bucks about his future and has put the NBA on notice about his potential desire to leave.
This seems out of character for a guy like Giannis, who had always talked about winning the hard way, staying loyal, and building a contender instead of joining one.
Whatever the case, fellow Buck Khris Middleton recently stated that neither he nor anybody else is actually worried about Giannisâ future, and this situation wonât have an effect on the team.
Bucks Players Arenât Worried About Giannis
âI think itâs kind of business as usual either way,â Middleton told ESPN. âIt doesnât affect me personally. I donât think it affects us as a team. I think this is something he said almost every year heâs come up in contract extension talks.â
Perhaps this wasnât the wisest choice of words by Middleton. Downplaying Giannisâ discontent could only make things worse, even if he meant that he believes everything will get sorted out eventually.
