“I think anyone asked that question who plays basketball, if he said no, he’d be a liar. It’s a team that won multiple championships, a team with one of the greatest players, if not the greatest player to ever play this game. It’s a no-brainer, everybody would love to play for Chicago. Down the line, you never know. You never know how life brings it. Maybe I play for Chicago,” Antetokounmpo said.
“But right now, I’m committed to Milwaukee.
Bulls fans are ready to welcome Giannis to Chicago with open arms while the rest of the NBA world was caught off guard by his comments.

Honestly, I don't see this being anything more than a negotiating tactic from Giannis.
Just a tactic to keep the Bucks FO on their feet and ensure he gets his much-deserved bag, which there is absolutely no doubt that Milwaukee will offer him. https://t.co/GKKxoXpX7z
