The news that Antetokounmpo wants to leave the Bucks is not reliable. He is just continuing to put pressure on the Bucks?

ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania has previously reported many news about Milwaukee Bucks forward star Giannis Antetokounmpo, saying that Giannis is still evaluating his future in the team, and that many teams are paying attention to his related news.

In response, Blue Wire's Bucks reporter Ti Windisch updated his social media account and questioned the credibility of these news about Shams. He said: Just to say that Giannis has two recent team actions (with the Bucks renewed in 2020 and 2023), these two renewals were announced by him personally, and it can be said that there was no sign in advance. The "core circles" around Giannis who were particularly close to him all had the same surname as him. They will not disclose the news to the outside world. Before Giannis spoke in person, all of them were just speculations. Another NBA reporter, Jake Weinbach, also seems to be closer to Windisch, who wrote on his social media: This is likely to be a move taken by Giannis Antetokounmpo's agency team to put pressure on the Bucks' management, but the source of information that provided Shams is definitely not Giannis himself, or anyone inside the Bucks. There were strong signs throughout the summer that Giannis was still committed to staying with the Bucks.

In the NBA regular season last season, Giannis played a total of 67 games in 82 games, averaging 34.2 minutes per game, averaging 30.2 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks, and 3.1 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 60.1%, three-point shooting percentage of 22.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 61.7%. In the playoffs, Giannis played 5 games in total, with averaging 37.6 minutes per game, with averaging 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and 4.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 60.6%, a three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 69.8%.

On the one hand, we have reason to believe that the possibility of Giannis asking for a deal at the current stage is not particularly high, because the Bucks have been doing a lot this summer. They have left all the free agents they should have left. They are also freeing up their salary space after sacking Damian Lillard with extended terms and signing Myles Turner who helped the Indiana Pacers enter the finals; on the other hand, we can also believe that this behavior is also a signal from Giannis to the Bucks team. He is still not very satisfied with the team's current combat power, and he believes that the team still has room for further improvement. Maybe Antetokounmpo doesn’t really want to leave the team, he just wants to force the Bucks to continue to strengthen the lineup?
