Giannis Antetokounmpo's latest comments keep idea of Knicks trade alive
There is also little follow-up or push back. That's kind of the point, right? It's ambiguous, often mindless and unworthy of credence.
With that caveat, let me present Giannis Antetokounmpo's shooting-the-breeze livestream conversation with an internet streamer nicknamed IShowSpeed:
'New York tax is bad,' IShowSpeed said to the Greek Freak.

Bucks president breaks silence on Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors
The Milwaukee Bucks have been focused on one thing this offseason, and that focus seems to be paying off. After losing in the first round to the Indiana Pacers, the Bucks suddenly had to deal with an abundance of trade rumors. With Giannis Antetokounmpo's future up in the air, it seemed like there was a realistic chance the two-time MVP might play elsewhere next season. Advertisement So, the Bucks went to work in the offseason, waiving and stretching Damian Lillard to bring in Myles Turner. Along with that big move, adding Cole Anthony and re-signing some key role players has put Milwaukee in a position to compete in a relatively weak Eastern Conference. While the trade rumors haven't gone away after those moves, the Bucks seem to be confident in their ability to keep Antetokounmpo happy. At Summer League, Bucks president Peter Feigin had some encouraging words for Bucks fans. 'Giannis loves Milwaukee, Milwaukee loves Giannis,' Feigin said. 'We are in a good place, we feel great about it. It's business as usual. I think we get a fun little joy in everybody else thinking they know what's going on and what the clickbait is, but for us, we're in a good spot.' Advertisement With Feigin looking forward to next season with Antetokounmpo leading the way, there is no doubt that the offseason moves played at least some role in getting the 2021 champion to stick around. Antetokounmpo has been outspoken about his desire to win another title, so if he believes it can happen in Milwaukee, he may never wear a different uniform.

Bucks 'In a Good Place' With Giannis Antetokounmpo, Team President Claims
Bucks 'In a Good Place' With Giannis Antetokounmpo, Team President Claims originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Before NBA free agency started, there were questions about Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks. After a third straight year where the Bucks were eliminated in the first round, many believe Antetokounmpo will ask to leave the franchise that drafted him. Advertisement However, there hasn't been any update on whether Antetokounmpo wants to continue his career in Milwaukee. The rumors started to pick up some pace after the Bucks waived All-Star guard Damian Lillard to sign free agent center Myles Turner. Although Lillard is still viewed as a star in the league, he's expected to miss the entire 2025-26 NBA season due to a torn Achilles tendon. The Bucks want to remain competitive with Antetokounmpo, but having his co-star recover from a devastating injury limits them. Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo pregame against the Cleveland McLoone-Imagn Images On Sunday, team president Peter Feigin was interviewed during the Summer League's broadcast of the Bucks' game against the Los Angeles Clippers. NBA analyst Jared Greenberg questioned Feigin about the team's current position on Antetokounmpo's future. Advertisement The executive played it cool and said this: "We kinda laugh internally, it's where we've been for 10 years," Feigin said. "Giannis loves Milwaukee, Milwaukee loves Giannis. We're at a good place. We feel great about it. It's business as usual." Feigin said that the team is having a bit of fun regarding the speculation about Antetokounmpo's future with the organization. The executive summarized his answer by saying that the Greek Freak is in a good place and the team is excited to run it back with him next season. Since the team's postseason elimination, there have been moments where Antetokounmpo dropped hints about what his next step with the Bucks is. Most of the hints he's dropped are leaning towards him staying.

Bucks stun Nuggets with wild Summer League buzzer-beater
The post Bucks stun Nuggets with wild Summer League buzzer-beater appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Milwaukee Bucks are under as much pressure as anyone this offseason, because if they fail to make marked progress in the Eastern Conference, Giannis Antetokounmpo could request a trade. Ergo, the organization must work feverishly to identify players who can aid its potential rise. Pricey free agents like Myles Turner are not the only ones who fall under that category. One or more members of the franchise's Summer League squad may be of service. Advertisement The Bucks' youngsters and roster hopefuls showcased their abilities and tenacity in a 90-89 buzzer-beating win versus the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night. Milwaukee trailed by seven points with two and a half minutes remaining before roaring back. Fourth-year point guard Jamaree Bouyea sunk the game-winning, step-back 3-pointer from 25 feet out as time expired. Elation filled Milwaukee's Summer Leaguers, a feel-good moment that the team and fans could enjoy after a disappointing end to the 2024-25 campaign, and a bittersweet beginning to the offseason. Following Damian Lillard's release and the constant Antetokounmpo speculation, there is something undoubtedly refreshing about a complicated-free moment. The unrestrained enthusiasm that Bouyea and his teammates experienced by stealing a W in Las Vegas, which does not happen often in that town, reminds people what is at stake during Summer League play. Men are fighting for their jobs and NBA dreams. A hard-fought victory alone is obviously not going to determine roster slots, but it may force Bucks brass to give more consideration to certain individuals. Advertisement Will a key contributor emerge from Bucks' Summer League team? Bouyea, who played five games with Milwaukee last season, is hoping to earn another stint in The Association. Although he shot a modest 5-of-13 from the field, the 26-year-old showed incredible composure and clutch prowess in the final seconds of the contest. He certainly impressed the Bucks Summer League head coach. 'Wanted to get the ball into JB's hands, downhill to his right hand,' Jason Love told reporters, per The Athletic's Eric Nehm. 'Guys executed the play. He's a big-time player. Made a big-time shot.' Bouyea is extremely grateful he was given the opportunity to succeed with the game on the line. 'Coach said for the win, so that's what I tried to do,' the former San Francisco star revealed. 'Like the playground, playing with my brothers when I was a kid. Dream come true.' Advertisement Jamaree Bouyea was not the only one who shined in Milwaukee's triumph over Denver. Chris Livingston and Cormac Ryan each scored a game-high 18 points and Pete Nance posted 13 points, seven rebounds and four assists. This group will look to keep the good vibes rolling when it faces the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday afternoon.
