Giannis Drops Potential Hint on Bucks Future in New Video Amid NBA Trade Rumors

Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed hope he'll stick around with the Milwaukee Bucks in a recent feature on the YouTube channel School of Hard Knocks.

Antetokounmpo mentioned the Bucks when describing his life story around the 2:15 mark of the video.

"2013, I got drafted. I came here in Milwaukee," Antetokounmpo said. "I've been here for 13 years with the team, and hopefully many more."

Antetokounmpo's comments came after ESPN's Shams Charania reported in May the Bucks "are open for business on trade calls and offers" regarding the superstar.

Charania had previously reported the Bucks were listening to offers ahead of the February trade deadline, although Antetokounmpo remained in Milwaukee.

Antetokounmpo still sat out the rest of the season amid what the Bucks said was an injury. He said the team did not let him return to play despite being healthy.

The Bucks reportedly received interest in Antetokounmpo from teams including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers at the trade deadline, per Charania.

Antetokounmpo has a no-trade clause and just one guaranteed season remaining on his current deal, so his approval would be key to the Bucks finalizing a trade.

How Antetokounmpo feels about his future in Milwaukee will play a role in determining whether trade talks get farther this summer than they did in February.
