Giannis Antetokounmpo is uncertain about the Milwaukee Bucks (Image via Instagram / @giannis_an34) Analyst Shams Charania recently opened up about Greek footballer and NBA giant, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the Milwaukee Bucks. Given his uncertain future with the team, many believed it would be the basketball player's summer. Meanwhile, the analysts continued by saying that the legend is still reportedly considering the Milwaukee Bucks' squad and has not yet made up his mind about staying or leaving the team. Giannis Antetokounmpo remains undecided about his future with the Milwaukee Bucks despite roster changes In a recent interview, while talking about Giannis Antetokounmpo and his future with the Milwaukee Bucks, Shams Charania said: 'What is the latest on his future with the Milwaukee Bucks? So Pete, I'm looking at the date. We're standing here. It's August 4th, right? Sources tell me there's still nothing set in stone about whether Antetokounmpo will stay in Milwaukee or whether he will be leaving…' Further talking about the Greek NBA player, he continued: 'I reported it in mid-May that he's evaluating whether his best fit is in Milwaukee or is it elsewhere.. There's been some very real conversations over the last week or so. The constant question that Giannis has, though, is Can I win a championship with this roster? Is this roster going to be won for this upcoming year and 2026-27? He wants to win a second championship…' Shams Charania then went on: 'There are multiple teams waiting in the wings, potentially… He has not asked that question in late June or early July before free agency. This is a very tough decision for him, though. This is 12 years he's spent there. There's a lot of equity there…' He finally concluded: 'This type of move isn't going to be easy because this is a Milwaukee Bucks organization… They wanted to show Giannis we're doing everything in our power to keep you here. But Giannis ended as the ultimate decider whether he feels this roster is good enough…' Giannis Antetokounmpo in practice (Image via Instagram / @giannis_an34) Additionally, Shams Charania went on to say that although the Milwaukee Bucks made every effort to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo from leaving, he will ultimately make his own career decisions. \Meanwhile, the interview came after the team decided to extend Damian Lillard 's salary for the next five years, then waive him in order to free up cap space and acquire Myles Turner from the Indiana Pacers.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now His big body transformation reminded many fans of the time when Shaquille O'Neal had fitness issues years ago. People across the NBA are talking about it again. When the Los Angeles Lakers posted 'The journey begins,' it felt clear—they're starting fresh with Luka Doncic leading the way. Luka Doncic signs with Los Angeles Lakers in July 2025, officially starting a new chapter On Saturday, July 27, the Los Angeles Lakers shared a short message on their social media: 'The journey begins.' It came right after Luka Doncic signed a three-year contract worth $165 million with the team. The deal also gives Luka the choice to leave after the third year. If he does, he could sign a much bigger deal in 2028, possibly worth around $417 million, depending on the NBA rules at that time. This was not just about money. It showed that the Lakers are building their future around him. The 26 -year -old Slovenian player joined the team in February 2025 and played 33 games last season. Now he stays in the long run, and the team has made it clear - they believe in him. The Los Angeles Lakers have built their future around him.

According to a report by ESPN, Luka looked slimmer and stronger than ever before. Luka Doncic's transformation brings back memories of Shaquille O'Neal's weight battles in early 2000s Luka Doncic's fitness journey reminded many fans of Shaquille O'Neal, who played for the Lakers between 1996 and 2004. Back in 1999, Shaq came into training camp weighing around 340 pounds, according to Phil Jackson, the head coach at that time. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He said, 'All the other parameters going into it… are better served if there's less weight.' Though Shaq led the Lakers to three championships from 2000 to 2002, his weight was often a concern. In 2004, the Lakers traded him to the Miami Heat. There, Shaq dropped about 60 pounds after team president Pat Riley demanded stricter fitness rules. Similarly, Luka's weight was a topic of debate in Dallas before he was traded. In 2023, Tim Cato of The Athletic reported that the Mavericks had serious talks with Doncic about dropping weight. 'I think I was a good basketball player back then, no matter what people say,' Luka said in a recent interview. Also Read: Now, in August 2025, Luka is focused and possibly ready to lead the Los Angeles Lakers like never before. Whether his body can hold up throughout the NBA season remains to be seen, but the message from both sides is clear-this time, they are all together.
