In the United States they assure that Giannis Antetokounmpo has many options of joining the Los Angeles Lakers during the summer of 2025, which would entail leaving the only team he knows in the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks.
In fact, if the “Demented Greek” ends up leaving his contract after the 2024-2025 season, the Wisconsin state franchise will be orphaned of a true star of the league; the man who has been MVP of the regular round on two occasions and the mainstay of the championship ring won in 2020-21.

However, another hierarchical element of the Bucks believes that the hypothetical departure of Antetokounmpo to the Lakers or another organization would not be the end of the world because he is one of the best players in the competition.
“It would be normal for someone like Giannis to decide to go to Los Angeles. It’s part of the business; that the best go to compete in the main markets,” Khris Middleton, the Greek power forward’s great squire in Milwaukee, told ESPN.
Furthermore, the guest to three All-Star Games surprised in his statements, noting that an eventual departure of the MVP of the NBA Finals in 2021 would not have to affect his squad. “Personally that wouldn’t affect me and I don’t think it would affect us as a team, since these things tend to happen.”
It must be remembered that Antetokounmpo has a player option for 2025-2026 with the Bucks based on $51.9 million; However, if he did not activate it, he would be in a position to sign with the Lakers and probably become the natural replacement for LeBron James, who may be retired from basketball by that time.
