Bucks Will Offer Supermax To Giannis Antetokounmpo At Start Of Offseason 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Sep 10, 2020 3:12 pm

The Milwaukee Bucks will offer Giannis Antetokounmpo a five-year supermax at the start of free agency this offseason, sources tell Shams Charania of The Athletic


For a salary cap of $109 million, the supermax would be for $221.27 million over five seasons.


Antetokounmpo has gone on the record to state he won't request a trade from the Bucks, but it is unclear if he's prepared to sign a supermax this offseason.

I'll bet the sun is coming up tomorrow, too.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
