Giannis Antetokounmpo stands as the most anticipated star heading into the 2025 NBA offseason.
After yet another disappointing NBA playoff campaign and ambiguous pathways ahead, all eyes see how the future between the Greek sense and the Milwaukee Bucks unfolds soon.
The loss in the loss to the Indiana Pacers in a five-final game marked the third year when Giannis Anteto Compo and the Bucks endured the exit of their first round.
Their elimination could not have been more cruel as Damien Lillard maintained a career-changing Achilles injury that could potentially be bystanding Starpoint Guard through the 2026-27 season.
Antetokounmpo himself remained quiet about his long stay in Milwaukee, but fans have recently been intrigued by his inexplicable social media posts.
If Antetokounmpo becomes available this summer, some asset-equipped teams will definitely be in a hurry to win him.
Brooklynnet is often touted as the team most interested in the service of the superstar big man, but it could potentially have the talent for the top-wide pickcooper flag in 2025, and Antetokounmpo’s considerations could change if he puts the number one in the NBA Draft Lottery.
NBA reporter Brandon Robinson points out that if the Bucks star comes to the market, the New Orleans Pelican will surely put franchise star Zion Williamson on the table.
But the Oklahoma City Thunder is most convincing as it is expected to have an astonishing 13 first rounds and 17 second round picks over the next seven years of a team that is highly capable enough to get the Anteto Compo.
Bill Simmons believes the Bucks should make the most of the lightning and make the most of the lightning and seek Chet Holmgren before pulling the trigger.
“If OKC can’t win this year, I think they need to think we’re really close. Why don’t you win the title? We were preferred. All math said they win the title.”
“If you don’t, you bounce back in one of these next three rounds, I think that’s the biggest overreaction team.
“You insist on Chet. It’s like if you’re Milwaukee, you need to be in Chet. I’m not talking about this.
Holmglen stands as the anchor of OKCs in current and future competition.
The former’s second overall pick hit in November with a brutal right iliac wing fracture that disrupted his momentum and locked him out for nearly three months.
Still, the Big Man closed out from 2024-25 with a solid average of 15.0 points, 8.0 boards, 2.0 assists and 2.2 blocks.
He missed most of the Thunder’s historic 68 wins, but there cannot be denied that Holmgren is an integral part of the team’s success. And Oklahoma City must ask if it is worth taking risks by modifying the structure in a potential deal for Antetokounmpo.
In addition to Holmglen, Thunder will need to say goodbye to some of his impactful role-playing members, including Rudort, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cazon Wallace.
For now, OKC doesn’t have to worry about anything offseason. Whether they become NBA champions or not, this year 2025 needs to be confident about the elite core found by MVP Frontrunner’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
