Forever in Milwaukee they want to keep him Giannis Antetokounmpo the Bucks! The Greek superstar enters the second year of his four-year deal with the Stags in September (with an option to renew in the 2025-2026 season) and the 2021 champions are already considering an offer early expansion!
This was revealed by the team’s general manager, John Horstspeaking to Athleticstressing that the Bucks will do everything in order to achieve a new renewal of Giannis’ contract!
The question, put to Horst, was: Speaking of which, next window, Giannis Antetokounmpo will be eligible for an extension in September. Is that in your thought process and decision making as you try to make moves as a general manager?
With the general manager answering:This is our job. I believe it is the most incredible man, superstar, teammate, leader, in all sports and we are incredibly blessed to have him. It is a great responsibility to win every year to be able to keep him. This is my job and responsibility, it’s my chance, his and the team’s.
And Griff (a.k.a. new coach Adrian Griffin) and Peter Fagin (a.k.a. Bucks chairman) share it, as do the team’s owners. I think it will be so cool to have the opportunity to do something like this (including the expansion). We were able to get this far, we will do everything to do it again».
