Break up with the Bucks? Pierce is most optimistic about letters to go to the Thunder Rockets: He has 6-7 years of peak period

For the third consecutive year, the Bucks, whom Antetokounmpo played for, failed in the first round of the playoffs and were eliminated in disgrace. Now, discussions about his career at the Bucks may come to an end are rampant. Former NBA star Paul Pierce also expressed the same view. He pointed out that Antetokounmpo should start planning his next journey. Especially considering Lillard's Achilles tendon injury, he is likely to miss most of next season's games, and the Bucks lack the capital to improve their roster.

Pierce said in the latest podcast episode: "He (Antetokounmpo) really needs a different environment. It requires a candid conversation, such as: 'I'm giving all my strength to Milwaukee and thanking the team for helping me develop my career, but I think we need to reach a consensus and let me explore other possibilities.'"

Pierce continued: "Although he has two years left in his contract, I think both sides should respect each other and allow him to find a new destination where he can regain the form of the best player in the world or launch a rush to the championship. With his strength, he is on the job. The career should not be stagnant at this stage. "

"Giannis (Antescot) is in his peak period, 30 years old this year, and at least 6 to 7 years of peak period. He must have a difficult conversation with the team boss, and this partnership may have come to an end."

Pierce's program partner Garnett added: "He made Milwaukee famous and went to the world. Sometimes, business is ruthless. I think it's time to show off and his decision should be respected."

Pierce and Garnett also discussed Antetokounmpo's possible next home, mentioning the Thunder, the Knicks, the Rockets and the Spurs. Pierce believes that Antetokounmpo's idea of ​​joining forces with Vinban Yama is "unrealistic", and points out that the Thunder and the Rockets are the most likely next players of the "Greek Monster".

Previously, according to famous reporter Shams, Antetokounmpo and the Bucks plan to meet after the end of the season to discuss his future and the direction of the team's development. Although such a meeting occurs every year during the offseason, it is reported that this year's conversation is "extraordinary."

Antesco led the Bucks to the NBA championship in 2021, and the Bucks are also the only NBA team he has played for so far in his career. This season, he also led the team to win the NBA Cup.
