Stop me if you've heard this before: An NBA superstar may force his way out if his team doesn't find ways to improve around him.
In a league seemingly run by the players, Giannis Antetokounmpo may be the next star player on the move after sources close to the All-Star say the Greek Freak is "open-minded about exploring whether his best long-term fit is remaining in Milwaukee or playing elsewhere."
While these comments are far from certain, the Giannis Antetokounmpo next team odds give the Milwaukee Bucks a 66% chance of retaining the face of the franchise.
Join me as I break down the NBA odds and possible landing spots for the 2025-26 season.

Where will Giannis Antetokounmpo play next year?
The favorite
Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo will be entering his 13th NBA season next year, and he's come a long way since making his debut.
He's put in the work, endeared himself to the Milwaukee faithful, and perhaps more importantly, brought the franchise an NBA Title in 2021. He's done it all and then some for the Milwaukee Bucks.
However, after three straight frustrating first-round exits, the Greek Freak may be looking for a way out.
The one benefit the Bucks have over every other team that will be vying for his services is that they're all he knows.
The odds give the Bucks a 66.67% chance of keeping Antetokounmpo, and with a little roster upgrade, they can tug at his heartstrings and keep him in the Midwest.
The contender
Brooklyn Nets

The long shot
Los Angeles Clippers
The Los Angeles Clippers have been in constant pursuit of their first NBA title, and acquiring a player of Giannis's caliber could be the catalyst they need, elevating the team's competitiveness in the Western Conference.
In addition, Los Angeles is one of the premier markets in the NBA. Giannis has expressed interest in playing in major cities like L.A., New York, or Miami if he were to leave Milwaukee.
And finally, the Clippers have a mix of veteran talent and young prospects. Joining the likes of James Harden and Kawhi Leonard would form a de facto Big Three and could challenge the status quo in the West.
