Paul Pierce has advice for Giannis Antetokunmpo

Milwaukee Bucks experienced another disappointment after the season, abandoning their second straight page series against the rival of Division Indiana Pacers. After losing in 6 matches last year without a robust Giannis Antetokunmpo, who led them, the team lost only 5 matches this year. In particular, Damian Lillard in this case was not robust.

Pierce pointed to the next season as one of the particularly gloomy perspective due to the lack of draft assets and the health of his star, Damian Lillard.

Will Giannis Antetokunmpo actually leave?

Giannis still did not give any signs that he was going to ask for trade or in a different way to force leaving the cream city. While the media moves or cited badly and everything said by the Greek star, in fact there is nothing specific suggesting that Antetokunmpo is ready with Milwaukee. To say, an objective assessment of the situation leads to many thinking that Antetokunmpo would be better in terms of winning his second championship.

While the media will spend out of season, delving into the public comments of Antetokunmpo, inventing transactions with teams such as Houston rocketsBucks fans will have to survive outside the season in which the team hopes to keep their core together. This year’s movements did not work positively, and with restricted assets, the team simply must make it good if there is a chance that Antokounmpo would like to remain part of it.
