Milwaukee Bucks will begin their regular season campaign on October 23 against Philadelphia 76ers.
Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to their first NBA championship in 50 years in 2021 and was named Finals MVP. However, the Greek forward believes that the team will not hesitate to trade him next season if he doesn’t lead them to the championship this year.
In an interview with The Athletic, Antetokounmpo expressed his desire for championship success and the potential consequences of failing to do so.
“Yeah, if we don’t win a championship, I might get traded,” he said. “This is the job we live. This is the world we’re living in. It’s everybody. At any given moment, if you don’t succeed, that might be it for us. …If you don’t do a good enough job, you’re out.”

The Bucks are entering their second season with Antetokounmpo. The 29-year-old “Greek Freak” signed a three-year, $186 million contract extension with the Bucks in 2023 with a player option for the 2027-28 season.
Milwaukee finished third in the Eastern Conference last season but was eliminated by the Indiana Pacers in the first round of the playoffs.
