However, the Bucks are just 1-6 in their first seven games.

A lot of rumors have started to take place surrounding the future of the two-time MVP.

Former NBA superstar Dwight Howard sent out a bold post in regards to the rumors.

Howard wrote: "I can’t picture Giannis in another uniform besides the bucks 🥴"

At one point, Howard was heavily involved in trade rumors before getting sent to the Los Angeles Lakers (via the Orlando Magic) in 2012.

Many fans reacted to his post.

@JMotenIII: "Yea I would love to see him stay with the team that drafted him and that he won a championship with."

@DruDilly: "The Knicks, Clippers, and about 25 other franchises could use his services…"

@jorjoobear: "Heat uniforms would look good on him…"

The Bucks most recently lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers by a score of 116-114.
