Currently, if he chooses to go to other teams, the player is available for a three-year contract worth US$169 million. However, if he chooses to wait until next year, Giannis Antetokounmpo would have a much higher price equivalent to US$233 million.
Rumors indicate that, at the request of Giannis Antetokounmpo, the team hired Adrian Griffin, former assistant coach of the Toronto Raptors, so that there is more stimulus and performance from the player and his colleagues Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday. There are also assumptions that the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls are wanting the athlete to be part of their teams.
In an interview with The New York Times, the athlete stated that he wanted to sign a contract renewal when all the team’s pieces are connected to make the Milwaukee Bucks one of the great NBA champions. However, he did not confirm when it would take place.
