In a week, the Bucks will have the opportunity to offer a new contract extension to Giannis Antetokounmpo. Their star player is already under contract until 2026, but his franchise can offer him a three-year, $173 million contract extension.
Right now, Giannis doesn’t want to hear about it, and he only thinks about winning a new title after the resounding failure of last season. For the second time, in a few days, the “Greek Freak” is putting pressure on its leaders. If he feels that there is not a common desire to win the title every year, he will look elsewhere!
“If there is a better situation for me to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy, I have to move towards that better situation”
“As long as we play and approach every game the right way and we all sacrifice for a common goal, I can see myself on the Bucks for the rest of my career.”he declares to podcast microphone 48 minutes. “But as long as I feel like people aren’t as determined as I am to get it, I’m not. “I am a Milwaukee Bucks player, but also and above all a winner. I want to win and I have to do whatever it takes to win and if there’s a better situation for me to win the Larry O’Brien Trophy, I have to move towards that better situation.”
As for this contract extension, he has already warned that he prefers to wait a year. Or even more, since he has the possibility of being a free agent in 2025.
“Next summer it would make more sense for both parties. But even then, I don’t know.”he warned. “I couldn’t be the best version of myself if I didn’t have the certainty that everyone is on the same page, that everyone is aiming for a title, and will sacrifice time away from home. family as I do. If I don’t feel that way, I won’t sign.”
