Giannis Antetokounmpo's future with the Milwaukee Bucks remains uncertain. Following the team's subpar performance in the postseason that led to a first-round exit, there have been speculations about his time with them.

In a report by Sam Amick of The Athletic on Tuesday, he revealed that the Greek Freak attended Steph Curry's party during the All-Star weekend. While attending a party isn't usually a significant deal, the party he went to was a Golden State Warriors-centric one. The Bucks star was allegedly the only non-Warriors player there.

The team's owner, Joe Lacob, was present, as well as other players for the organization, like Draymond Green and Kevon Looney.

“Giannis and Steph, it should be noted, are both represented by the same Octagon agency,” Amick wrote. "Still, it was a Warriors-centric event with one notable, and very large, exception."

"For the sake of basketball make this trade happen 🙏🏼" one fan commented.

The 2021 Finals MVP hasn't officially asked for a trade from the Bucks. However, ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Antetokounmpo is open to exploring his options outside of Milwaukee.

After three straight years of being eliminated in the first round, Giannis Antetokounmpo might want a change in scenery.

However, Windhorst detailed that the future of the Bucks lies in what Giannis Antetokounmpo wants in his career. Milwaukee's star player has a three-year, $175.3 million contract extension beginning in the 2025-26 season.
