Ever since, he has struggled to rebuild the roster, as age and injuries took their toll on the title core.\u00a0This\u00a0has led us to wonder if Giannis Antetokounmpo, one of the three best players in the league, could leave Milwaukee as a result. In a desperate attempt to satiate Antetokounmpo, Horst waived and stretched Damian Lillard\u00a0in order to\u00a0sign Myles Turner this summer, and his career \u2014 and the future of Antetokounmpo on the Bucks \u2014 will ultimately hinge on that choice.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_hzsbkcn72\">More news: <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_fhxg44\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nba\/bucks\/news\/new-bucks-star-myles-turner-will-miss-indiana-almost-immediately-predicts-insider\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Bucks Star Myles Turner Will Miss Indiana Almost Immediately, Predicts Insider<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_els71n6xe\">Horst built a championship roster in 2021, but\u00a0since\u00a0then, they have yet to sniff\u00a0an\u00a0NBA Finals appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z1v1vjvu5\">On top of that, the Bucks have not made it out of the first round for the past three seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_409mdqujy\">The Bucks were busy this offseason.
