Dwight Howard told Giannis Antetocomo not to leave the Bucks.
The future of Giannis Antetokounmpo is highly doubtful. The Milwaukee Bucks forward is assessing his options after yet another first round exit.
The Bucks have not looked like they’ll be returning to the NBA Finals since winning the 2021 Championship. With some roster changes, coaching changes, and later traded, the Bucks are in the same place.
Giannis has revealed several times that if the franchise is not in a position to compete for the NBA championship, he will not hesitate to go anywhere else while he loves the Bucks.
There are several landing spots at Giannis Antetokounmpo. And after the controversial NBA Draft lottery, Maverick and the Spurs were able to use the pick to trade for Greek freaks.
But should he choose to go? Dwight Howard inexplicably asked not to leave antetokounmpo. And when he pressed his comment, the former NBA champion described himself.

Dwight Howard spoke while burying for Shaquille O’Neill in the NBA. Howard spoke honestly when Ernie Johnson asked him to elaborate on his recent X post.
The former DPOY urged Giannis to play cards near the vest to assess the situation as things could get sour. Howard, referring to his own nasty exit from magic, believes Giannis should stay with the Bucks a little longer.
“What I really wanted to tell him in this moment is to stay silent, stay still and be vigilant.
“Many times, when you speak too early in a situation, it puts a lot of pressure on yourself and all your friends and family.”
“I think you should just stay quiet. This is a big decision that he is coming, what he is going to do next in his career.”
“He was in Milwaukee forever so leaving will leave a sour taste in every fan’s mouth. I fully understand how it feels from my situation in Orlando.

You can’t wonder what Giannis Antetokounmpo did for the Milwaukee Bucks. In fact, there is a strong argument that he did more for the franchise than Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
But after giving them many chances around 2021, to build a competitor around him, the Bucks couldn’t do that.
For players like Antetokounmpo, if they thrive in competition at the highest level, the exit for the first round of three consecutive times is not acceptable.
It’s that after dedicating so much time to the Bucks, Giannis first places himself and looks for a situation where he can win another ring.
