Just the other day, a report surfaced that said Giannis Antetokounmpo might demand a trade from his Milwaukee Bucks if the team doesn’t get its act together soon.
Now more and more insiders and analysts are speculating about Antetokounmpo’s potential departure.
On the “Bill Simmons Podcast”, per Legion Hoops, Kirk Goldsberry spoke about Antetokounmpo leaving.
“I think there’s a world where he’s the next big domino to drop,” Goldsberry said.

This is becoming one of the biggest storylines to watch in the NBA.
Antetokounmpo is a massive talent but his team is struggling and he has made no secret of his desire to win another championship soon.
The Bucks have gotten off to a disastrous start with a 1-4 record, which means they are already in a deep hole after just a week of playing.
Antetokounmpo might be running out of patience and that puts his future with the team in serious jeopardy.
There are still ways for the Bucks to keep their star player on the roster.
They could make a coaching change or trade away some other talent to put a stronger lineup around Antetokounmpo.
Of course, there is also a chance that his mind is made up and it’s just a matter of time before he demands to be moved.
If Antetokounmpo does leave the Bucks, that would be a massive domino that would throw the Bucks into disarray and shake up the rest of the league.
It would be one of the biggest trades in recent NBA history.
Things haven’t gotten to that point yet but it seems to be moving in that direction and Bucks fans are growing increasingly nervous about Antetokounmpo.
