Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks Only Began Working On Extension Shortly Before Deadline 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Oct 25, 2023 4:03 pm

Giannis Antetokounmpo initially announced he would wait until the 2024 offseason to sign an extension with the Milwaukee Bucks, but he quietly changed his mind shortly before the Monday deadline. Antetokounmpo's extension is worth $186 million over three years.


"This just came together, I'm told, really over the weekend," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "Really, Sunday when Jon Horst drove down to Chicago and sat down with Giannis' agent Alex Saratis, who has been with Giannis from the very beginning. And they went through the numbers on this. And got it done. Signed the contract on Monday night in Milwaukee."


Antetokounmpo expressed some level of unease over the direction of the Bucks this offseason before they responded by trading for Damian Lillard.
