Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks have settled into a bit of a rhythm when it comes to roster construction. Every few years, he starts to apply a little bit of pressure behind the scenes.

The Bucks have a strong core with Antetokounmpo and the newly acquired Myles Turner. Adding Paul to that mix could be the spark they need to make another deep playoff run. It’s now just a matter of whether the East Coast pull outweighs his West Coast heart.

With the team agreeing to a four-year, $107 million deal with Myles Turner, Milwaukee needed to make room for him by waiving and stretching Damian Lillard. While it was controversial, the ultimate sentiment is that if Giannis Antetokounmpo is happy, then that’s all that matters.
