Should the Bucks rebuild or keep Giannis? Both teams are interested in Giannis!

The Milwaukee Bucks suffered a humiliating exit as the eighth seed, and Coach Budenholzer received a dismissal letter from the Bucks the day after his brother's tragic car accident. The contract extension for their star player, Giannis Antetokounmpo, is currently on hold. The Bucks will face significant challenges next season, as numerous teams have expressed interest in Giannis, and the Bucks are now facing the decision of either trading Giannis to rebuild or building around him.

Currently, two teams have expressed interest in Giannis: the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks. Let's start with the Trail Blazers. Portland's star player, Damian Lillard, openly welcomed Giannis to join their team and even shared photos of both of them wearing Trail Blazers jerseys. After Lillard's public invitation, the media began to speculate that this trade could be possible. In order to acquire Giannis, the Trail Blazers are willing to offer Simmons, Nurkic, Covington, their first-round picks in 2023, 2026, 2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030 as part of a 9-for-1 deal. This is virtually all the assets that the Trail Blazers currently have, and Simmons and Nurkic are both essential role players for them.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is still young and has not yet reached 30 years of age. With just one NBA championship to his name at the moment, it is likely that deep down, Giannis still desires to compete for several more championships.

To be honest, the Trail Blazers and the Knicks are just average options. The likelihood of them bringing a championship to Giannis is not very high.

Good players are in high demand, just like Erling Haaland, for example. As the saying goes
if you're a gem, you'll shine wherever you are placed

It seems that there is a relatively high possibility of Giannis leaving the Bucks.
