Frank Isola believes Giannis Antetokounmpo is making his intentions clear.

Frank Isola was a guest on the Rich Eisen Show. He talked about the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo and where he might end up.
Isola claimed that the Houston Rockets are best suited to land him, because of their historic star-hunting nature, along with Ime Udoka and Giannis’ shared Nigerian roots.
“I do find it interesting that with all this stuff swirling around, that he hasn’t shot it down. I love the guy, I love the fact he’s been in Milwaukee, but he won there.”
“Look at the situation the Bucks are in right now, they need players, they need assets. I think if he goes anywhere, the team that makes the most sense is the Houston Rockets.”
“They have the assets, Houston historically has gone out and gotten these types of players, whether it was Clyde, Charles Barkley, Scottie Pippen, James Harden, you think about some of the connection with Ime Udoka and Nigerian roots, Hakeem Olajuwon.”
“If I’m betting right now, I’d say 51 percent he stays in Milwaukee, 45 percent he ends up in Houston, whatever the rest would be, I’d put that on one of the New York teams.”

There is no debating that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the greatest player in the history of the Milwaukee Bucks franchise.
He has given everything to the franchise and helped them win their only championship in 50 years. However, since the title win, the Bucks have failed to mount any championship challenge.
The Bucks are too far gone as a franchise to realistically rebuild around Giannis once again. The franchise can’t spend years building around Antetokounmpo as it would waste his prime.
But if he is going to leave, where is he going to go? The Houston Rockets are one of the favorites. But given the floundering Eastern Conference, he may want to stay in the competition.
