Recently, Howard participated in the "Club 520" podcast and talked about Antetokounmpo's potential departure.

He said: "I think one of the craziest things I've ever done is to leave Orlando. I don't know what I have until I've really lost it, and when you go somewhere else, you don't realize that you're actually putting yourself in other people's territory. You thought you could go there and take control of everything, but it wasn't that, it's not like that."

"When I was in Orlando, I didn't realize how young I was, man. I reached the finals at the age of 22, do you know what I mean? 22 is already one of the best players, MVP (contender). "

"So I want to tell Giannis Antetokounmpo, 'Man, you're the symbol of Milwaukee. Where else can you go? There won't be a better choice after that. His best choice is to stay where he is.'"
