Overview
- At the news conference introducing new coach Taylor Jenkins, co-owner Jimmy Haslam said he will be in Milwaukee more and take a larger hands-on role with the Bucks.
- Haslam said Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future is unresolved and that the team will work through it with him in the coming weeks.
- He called the NBA draft a natural deadline because the front office would need assets in place if Antetokounmpo ends up elsewhere.
- Milwaukee’s 32–50 finish and missed playoffs in 2025–26 have increased pressure to set a clear direction for the roster.
- Reporting says the Bucks can offer Antetokounmpo a four-year, $275 million extension in October, and he could reach free agency after next season if he declines.
