Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo wants “everybody back” next season so the team can build on this season.

Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Nikola Mirotic and Malcolm Brogdon all enter free agency this summer. Middleton, Lopez and Mirotic will be unrestricted free agents, while Brogdon will be a restricted free agent.

The Bucks had the best record in the NBA this season. They lost to the Toronto Raptors in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games. Antetokounmpo says he will talk to his teammates this offseason and try to convince them to stay with the Bucks:

 “Obviously, I want everybody back,” Antetokounmpo, via Malika Andrews of ESPN. “Great fricking team — unselfish players that play basketball the right way. They're winners. We had a great atmosphere. We didn't have no — I want to be polite. I want to say the A-word — we didn't have no buttheads. Obviously, I want everybody back. I'm going to let my teammates know that.”

Middleton is the player the Bucks have to keep at all costs. He's arguably the second-best player on the team and a solid two-way player. The 27-year-old averaged 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists during the regular season. He may be looking at a max contract, or close to it.

Lopez stretched the floor well for the Bucks this season, as did Mirotic. The more driving lanes Antetokounmpo and point guard Eric Bledsoe have, the better Milwaukee's offense runs. Lopez made $3,382,000 this season, while Mirotic earned $12,500,000.
