Giannis Antetokounmpo Addressed Trade Rumors By Hilariously Calling Out Bobby Portis

The Milwaukee Bucks saw their season end in the first round for the third year in a row with a 4-1 series loss to the Indiana Pacers. Now, the question is whether superstar and two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo will be sticking around for the 2025-26 season.

With another disappointing postseason exit, rumors have begun to circulate that Antetokounmpo could be looking for an exit strategy from Milwaukee in the form of a trade. He broke his silence on the rumors Friday, and he did so in the most hilarious way possible.

During an interview on the "Run it Back" podcast, Antetokounmpo's Bucks teammate, Bobby Portis, was asked about the former Finals MVP's future.

Portis has a player option for next season and could become a free agent if he so chooses. Asked whether his decision would be influenced by a potential Antetokounmpo trade, Portis said that he would love to remain in Milwaukee but recognized that things remain "up in the air."

He didn't directly address Antetokounmpo's future, but that didn't stop Antetokounmpo from jokingly responding to Portis' comments on Instagram.

"Don't worry about me!" Antetokounmpo wrote. "What you doing Bobby you staying or leaving?!"

Antetokounmpo is one of the NBA's biggest stars, having been named an All-Star in each of the last nine seasons and a First-Team All-NBA selection in each of the last six.

The 30-year-old won an NBA championship with the Bucks in 2021, but with his best years potentially being spent toiling on a team that's struggling to get back to those heights, he could look to move on. But that's not going to stop him from cracking jokes about it.
