Unbothered Giannis Antetokounmpo parties in Greece with Bucks future unclear
The former two-time league MVP, currently at the center of offseason trade rumors, was filmed dancing on a boat in his native Greece in a TikTok video posted Sunday.
'Meanwhile in Greece,' Antetokounmpo captioned the post, adding a blue heart emoji.
The 30-year-old forward, sporting white swim shorts with stripes, was holding a beverage and his phone in the clip.
Fans took to the comments to give their opinions on where he should take his talents next, including the Heat, Warriors and Lakers.
On Monday, Antetokounmpo unveiled his seventh signature basketball shoe with Nike, the Giannis Freak 7, which will be available July 29.
Some fans speculated the shoe's 'Ignition' colorway — including neon orange and pink — is a hint that he could be headed to the Knicks.

Most signs point to the Greek Freak remaining with the Bucks next season. He's played his entire career in Milwaukee, which drafted him 15th overall in 2013.
However, in the aftermath of the Bucks' third straight first-round playoff exit in April, some suspected Antetokounmpo would request a trade.
On Monday, the Bucks signed former Pacers center Myles Turner after waiving injured point guard Damian Lillard — and parting ways with veteran 3-and-D big man Brook Lopez.

Lopez agreed to a two-year, $18 million contract to join the Clippers, ESPN's Shams Charania reported last week.
The Bucks' 2024-25 season came to an end following a 119-118 overtime loss in Game 5 to the Indiana Pacers, the eventual Eastern Conference champions.
Lillard went down with a torn Achilles tendon in Game 4, and Milwaukee seemed poised for a rebuild.
Antetokounmpo is the only remaining core player from Milwaukee's 2021 title team.

Pacers president Kevin Pritchard was 'shocked' by Myles Turner-Bucks deal, says he learned about it on social media: 'I saw Shams tweet it'
Indiana Pacers president Kevin Pritchard says he learned that Myles Turner was leaving for the Milwaukee Bucks alongside the rest of us. He saw the news on social media. Pritchard spoke with media Monday on various topics, including the stunning departure of Turner to a Bucks team that waived Damian Lillard to clear the way for the deal. Pritchard said that he was "shocked" by the transaction and that he learned about it when ESPN's Shams Charania reported it. Advertisement 'We did not see Milwaukee as that team. We would have been open on a sign-and-trade because it's sort of mutually beneficial, but we didn't get to that point, unfortunately,' Pritchard said. 'I saw Shams tweet it, and that's how I knew that Myles was taken away.' Turner left the Pacers for the division-rival Bucks on the heels of Indiana's run to the NBA Finals that ended with a Game 7 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Turner struggled in the Finals, but was instrumental in Indiana's postseason run as a 6-foot-11 center who can protect the rim on defense and space the floor on offense as an effective 3-point shooter. [Get more Pacers news: Indiana team feed] Before Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles injury in Game 7, it seemed like a given that the Pacers and Turner would reach a deal and that Indiana would run it back with the same core next season in a weakened Eastern Conference. Advertisement Even with the blow of Haliburton's injury that Pritchard confirmed Monday would sideline him for the entirety of next season, few, if any, saw Turner's departure to the Bucks coming. When it happened, the Pacers drew criticism for being "cheap" and unwilling to pay the NBA's luxury tax to keep a contending roster intact. Pritchard on Monday denied that that was the case regarding Turner's departure. He said team owners Herb Simon and Steven Rales were willing to pay to keep Turner in town. 'Herb Simon and Steven Rales and the Simon family were fully prepared to go deep into the tax to keep him, and we really wanted to do that,' Pritchard said. 'We were negotiating in good faith. Advertisement "But what happens in this league is sometimes you're negotiating, but because a guy is unrestricted, he has the right to say, 'That's the offer I want. I'm gonna take it, and that's best for my family.'" Pritchard added that "it was a little surprising" how the Bucks created the salary cap space to sign Turner. Milwaukee signed Turner to a four-year, $107 million contract in a deal that was facilitated by waiving Lillard and stretching the remaining two years and $113 million of the injured All-Star's guard's contract. Like Haliburton, Lillard has a ruptured Achilles tendon that's expected to sideline him for most, if not all, of next season. Advertisement The Bucks prioritized the near future by adding a piece in Turner that may or may not help the franchise in its efforts to keep star Giannis Antetokounmpo happy on a roster that's fallen out of contention since winning the 2021 championship. Whether or not it ultimately makes the Bucks better is yet to be seen. But one thing is almost certain. Turner's departure makes the Pacers worse. And the prospects of a 2025-26 season that just weeks ago was filled with promise in Indiana suddenly isn't.

Lonzo Ball is excited for a fresh start with the Cleveland Cavaliers after trade from the Chicago Bulls
INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — Lonzo Ball doesn't have to worry about rehabbing from a knee injury for the first time in a couple of seasons. Instead, the veteran guard will use the offseason to get acclimated to a new team. Ball was at the Cleveland Cavaliers' practice complex meeting with the medical staff and coaches on Monday after his trade from the Chicago Bulls for forward Isaac Okoro was finalized on Sunday. Chicago and Cleveland agreed to the trade on June 28, but it didn't become official until the start of the new league year on Sunday. 'I think it's a great situation for my play style,' Ball said. 'Don (Donovan Mitchell) is one of the best players we have in the league. And they have two bigs that are mobile, can set pick-and-rolls and get to the rim like that. And then do some switching on defense. I think we can do a lot of different things on both sides of the ball, and to have the option to be able to do those things is great.' Ball averaged 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 35 games this past season after missing the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns because of a left knee injury. The 27-year-old Ball underwent a meniscus and cartilage transplant in his left knee in March 2023 after two surgeries failed to fix an injury he suffered during his first season in Chicago in 2021-22. He missed the last two months of the season due to a sprained right wrist, but was encouraged by the way his knee held up throughout the season. 'After the games I didn't really know what to expect. But, you know, when I first got back versus Minnesota in that preseason game, I was kind of surprised that I was moving around,' Ball said. 'I feel like I just got better as the year went on. Unfortunately, I had to deal with my wrist, but as far as my knee was concerned, it was pretty good.' Ball, the second overall pick by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2017 draft, has one year remaining on his contract with a team option for the 2026-27 season. Cleveland had a need at point guard after Ty Jerome signed with the Memphis Grizzlies. Starter Darius Garland is likely to miss the start of the regular season after undergoing surgery on his left big toe last month. The Cavaliers had the second-best record in the NBA at 64-18 but were eliminated in the Eastern Conference semifinals by the Indiana Pacers in five games. Ball has yet to take part in a playoff game in the six seasons he has played, which is something he is hoping will change. 'When you start in September or October you can't look too far ahead. But they were No. 1 in the East last year, so everybody knows that. It's pretty much ring or nothing,' he said. 'It's just making sure I'm prepared to be as available as possible and put myself in the best position to finish the season strong. Right now, it's more so just being in the weight room making sure my lower body is good and stuff like that.'
