The Greek star, on the opening day of the best competition in the world, got three more years with the Bucks, listed as candidates.
After weeks of rumors, fear and uncertainty, there was peace in Milwaukee. After several talks, which set up the possible departure of Giannis Antetokounmpo from the Bucks, everything seems to have come true. As reported by renowned journalist Adrian Wojnarowski, the two-time NBA regular season MVP signed a contract extension for 3 years and $186 million.
It hasn’t been a quiet month for the Bucks, who have been involved in one of the most important negotiations in recent memory. A few weeks ago, Lillard’s participation was assured for years to come. The historic Portland Trail Blazers player is looking for new directions that seem to lead him to Miami. Finally, in a deal that involved more teams, he ended up with the Milwaukee franchise, which was looking to improve its image from last season. After finishing in first place in the Northern Conference in 22/23, the Heat eliminated them from the post-season. Now, along with the Celtics, they are great candidates.
The Greek economic agreement is very much in line with the “Dame’s” contract. A player option is set for the 2027-28 season, something similar to a shooter, which will ensure the franchise several years of a project that is emerging as one of the most complete in the NBA. Regarding the economic distribution, Antetokounmpo will pay 57.6 million dollars for the academic year 2025-26, 62.2 million for 2026-27 and 66.8 million for 2027-28.
Giannis, the best companion
A few days ago, the Greek had a nice detail with his teammates. The player has continued to practice one of his customs over the years. He showed up at the store where the Bucks held their preseason with a cart full of boxes of sneakers. This is about “Freak 5”its new pipe-branded model, which was distributed to the rest of the squad, members of the coaching staff and some establishment workers.
The beginning of the season
The Milwaukee Bucks will make their season debut next Thursday the 26th. They will host the Philadelphia 76ers, another team that is still in the eye of the storm and still does not know if it will have the presence of James Harden in the season. The initial jump of this fascinating rivalry is at 8:30 pm in our country.
