Doc Rivers He says he is constantly communicating Giannis Antetokounmpo …say TMZ Sports Both sides say “always” amid speculation that the Milwaukee Bucks superstar might be interested in bringing his talent elsewhere.
The current Bucks coach was asked a few questions about his best players after dining at the AVRA in Beverly Hills on Thursday…and although he didn’t go into details about the organization’s Giannis’ current status, he made it clear that he was not a ghost.
“Guys, I haven’t done it all,” he told camera. “I always talk to him. I can move on right now, thank you.”
Last week, reports were released that Giannis, 30, is open to exploring his options. Despite recent playoff struggles, whether they will remain loyal to the team that drafted him with the No. 15 pick in the 2013 draft, or whether they will try his chances with a new team for the first time in his NBA career.
Giannis is locked under the contract until the 2026-27 season…but if he expresses his desire to go to town, he will likely be traded before the Bucks are empty-handed.
Giannis isn’t making the situation easier… squirting online to players from different teams and other cities.
There’s more to come – Rivers also squeezed the Pacers’ unlikely comeback victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals… and told me he’d broadcast to the locker room after a tough loss the Knicks had on Wednesday.
