MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — As reactions continue pouring in following the blockbuster trade involving Giannis Antetokounmpo, former Milwaukee Bucks star Michael Redd is offering his perspective on the franchise-changing move.

In a social media post, Redd reflected on Antetokounmpo's legacy in Milwaukee, thanking him for delivering an NBA championship, winning two MVP awards and dedicating more than a decade of his career to the city.

Redd also reminded fans that while iconic players eventually move on, the franchise remains. He pointed to past Bucks legends, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Ray Allen, whose departures marked the end of eras but not the end of the organization.

Redd concluded his message by thanking Antetokounmpo for "repping Milwaukee the right way" before ending with a line that resonated with many Bucks fans:

"The Bucks are dead. Long live the Bucks."
