Giannis could control his future and that could be bad for the Phoenix Suns.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly wanting to put his foot on the scale of his imminent trade from the Milwaukee Bucks, which on the surface level seems like a positive for the Phoenix Suns.

However, other reporting claims the superstar wants to not only remain in the Eastern Conference, but also play for a legit title contender.

Does this spell the end of the Suns’ chances of landing the Greek Freak in The Valley?
