Giannis Antetokounmpo was named the MVP of NBA 2019 and a lot of other teams are waiting for him to become a free agent. The Milwaukee Bucks will offer him their best contract but Giannis would hardly stay there for any longer. Anthony Davis did the same when he left the New Orleans Pelicans and joined the Lakers to play along with LeBron James.

Giannis in NBA 2021 Free Agency
Golden State Warriors lost Kevin Durant and there is no way he’s getting back in the next summer or the summer after that. There is too much load on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson is also recovering from an ACL injury. It is why the Warriors will be actively pursuing Giannis Antetokounmpo in the NBA free agency whenever he is available.
