Giannis Antetokounmpo will be offered a supermax extension by Milwaukee Bucks at the start of the free agency, which could be the most influential NBA story both this off-season and 2021.
“I wonder how Giannis feels looking at this now, you know, what he’s thinking,” Brian Windhurst said on a podcast recorded before the holiday trade. “Because he has about a month to decide on a Super Max. I think he will decide a lot sooner. And I think there’s a lot of warmth in Milwaukee now. I’ll leave it at that.
Several teams have been waiting to see what Antetokounmpo does in the off-season before getting too aggressive now hoping it will be available in 2021. If Antetokounmpo falls for the Supermax with the Bucks, these teams can quickly pivot elsewhere during this off-season..
“Well first, there’s a whole bunch of teams with plans to play 2021 waiting for news from Milwaukee,” Windhurst said.. « Okay? And let me just tell my feelings about this, because I don’t want to get in trouble. My feelings about what might be going on there have changed in the past two months.. OK? Was I planning to have Giannis available?. I might upgrade my backup plan a little faster.
Sam Amyk of The Athletic also reported that sources indicate that « Bucks ‘confidence was high that Antetokounmpo would sign the Supermax five-year tournament in this off-season, even before the Bucks’ Holiday and Bogdan Bogdanovic moves.
