Giannis Antetokounmpo remains the most important player for the Milwaukee Bucks and one of the best stars in the league.
The Bucks would be devastated if they lost him, but is that a possibility?
Speaking on “Get Up” on Thursday morning, Shams Charania shed light on Antetokounmpo’s affinity for his team.
He said Antetokounmpo still loves the Bucks, but he loves winning more, and if he feels the team doesn’t have a plan for long-term, sustained success, he will think about moving.

This is a huge fear for all Bucks fans, and it’s one they have been grappling with for years.
When the Bucks won a championship in 2021, it was assumed the team was about to enter a brand new, bright chapter.
Instead, they have shown a lot of promise and made some exciting moves but have consistently come up short in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo has made public statements suggesting he needs his team to do better and fight harder.
These comments have been directed not only at his teammates but also at the front office.
If Milwaukee doesn’t find the sort of success Antetokounmpo wants, he could leave.
But how much time do the Bucks have?
Is this something they should worry about this summer, or do they still have a year or two to improve the situation?
The Bucks are currently the fifth team in the East with a 29-24 record.
If they fall drastically short in the playoffs again, you can bet rumors about Antetokounmpo will only grow, especially after this report from Charania.
