Bucks would prefer to extend Giannis Antetokounmpo

Article excerpt

The prevailing chatter points to Antetokounmpo preferring to stay in the Eastern Conference, where he'd have a better shot at reaching the Finals while avoiding the juggernaut Spurs and Thunder out West. The disconnect between what Milwaukee wants and what its franchise cornerstone appears to want sets up a potential offseason drama for one of the league's marquee names.
