Paul Pierce believes that Giannis will leave the Bucks: "The marriage is over"

For NBA legend, all signs point to Antetokounmpo not staying in Milwaukee for even one more season

A new season of the NBA has ended disappointingly for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Wisconsin franchise once again failed to advance past the first round of the playoffs, losing 4-1 to the Indiana Pacers, despite the outstanding performance of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

It seems that the Greek's patience has run out. Rumors within the NBA suggest that the two-time MVP will leave the Bucks this summer. Paul Pierce, a legend of the Celtics and the league, shares this sentiment.

"He needs a breath of fresh air. He has to tell the Bucks: 'Look, I've given my all for the Milwaukee organization. I appreciate what they've done to help advance my career, but I think we need to come to a mutual agreement to let me explore what else is out there,'" Pierce began saying on the latest Ticket & The Truth podcast.

"Although he has 2 years left on his contract, I believe it should be a mutual decision to honor him and allow him to seek a place where he can go and reclaim his status as the best player in the world. There have to be tough conversations between him and the owner. This marriage is over," Paul Pierce concluded.
