Did Giannis Antetokounmpo share a goodbye post? Debunking tweet about Bucks star's reaction to Damian Lillard being waived image

The Milwaukee Bucks have had an active start to free agency, and rumors are swirling.

After the Bucks shockingly signed Myles Turner and waived and stretched Damian Lillard, parody account NBA Centel cashed in on the action. The account is known for sharing misinformation in hopes of getting attention and potentially tricking fans into believing some far-fetched news.

Did Giannis Antetokounmpo share a goodbye post?

No, the Bucks superstar hasn’t shared any goodbye post on his Instagram story as laid out in NBA Centel’s post. 

While the superstar has been at the center of rumors throughout the offseason, his time with the Bucks appears to be raging on. However, Centel’s post might have a bit of truth to it, considering Chris Haynes recently reported that Antetokounmpo wasn’t pleased with the team’s decision to waive Lillard.

In any case, Antetokounmpo is yet to ask for any trade or take any steps toward making his way out of Milwaukee. In fact, the Bucks’ offseason moves might have strengthened the franchise’s chances of keeping him around. 

With Turner now in the fold, Antetokounmpo has a younger frontcourt partner after Brook Lopez’s departure. Add in the team bringing back some key players, such as Bobby Portis, and the Bucks might be in a position to make a run in the East next season.

Of course, this is only the start of what could be an active free agency period in Milwaukee, and Antetokounmpo’s future with the franchise is far from certain.

However, as of now, Antetokounmpo hasn’t posted any goodbye, and he is still a Buck.
