Most NBA teams holding picks near the top of the 2025 draft are fully focused on the upcoming lottery. That is, after all, when a few fortunate franchises might be united with a few fortune-changing mega-talents. Some of these prospects will eventually become stars.

That elite would be one Giannis Antetokounmpo, the two-time MVP who will reportedly meet with the Milwaukee Bucks soon "to discuss both his future and the future plans for the team," according to ESPN's Shams Charania (h/t ESPN's Jamal Collier.)

Those future plans have never more tenuous following the club's third consecutive first-round exit and Damian Lillard's unfortunate Achilles tear.
