Giannis Antetokounmpo has given his all to the Milwaukee Bucks for 12 seasons. It’s becoming clear that the superstar forward has taken the franchise as far as he possibly could, and it feels like time for him to start looking for a new home.

The Rockets find themselves on the cusp of championship contention. Their disruptive, dominant defense is camera-ready for basketball's biggest stage. Their competitive fire and the fight instilled under head coach Ime Udoka can keep sturdy legs beneath them through the final rounds of a heavyweight brawl.

A miserable loss to the Pacers ended Milwaukee’s season in the first round of the playoffs again and intensified speculation about Antetokounmpo’s future.
