Giannis Antetokounmpo next team odds: Where will 'Greek Freak' play next season?
Things could start getting freaky in Milwaukee … in a bad way.
The Bucks lost in the first round of the NBA playoffs for the third consecutive season, hoisting their immediate future into jeopardy with their longtime superstar, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Could the "Greek Freak" be on his way out of the Midwest?
Let's see the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 2.

Since the Bucks won the NBA title at the end of the 2020-21 season, things have progressively gone downhill.
The following season, Milwaukee lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals to the Boston Celtics in seven games. Since then, the Bucks have not made it past the first round in three consecutive seasons, amassing a 4-12 postseason record in that time.
Making matters worse, their second superstar, Damian Lillard, tore his Achilles on April 27, during Game 4 of Milwaukee's first-round series against Indiana. He is expected to miss a significant portion of next season.
Where do the Bucks go from here? Is it time to trade their franchise cornerstone in Antetokounmpo?
Rumor is, that's the only way to go.
Lillard and Antetokounmpo are owed nearly $300 million over the next several years, dealing a major blow to their salary cap flexibility, and the Bucks also don't control their first-round draft picks until 2031.
In summary, Milwaukee
